The 2013–14 season was Torino Football Club's 103rd season of competitive football, 86th season in the top division of Italian football and 69th season in Serie A.
Giampiero Ventura was confirmed for another season while Torino spent its summer retreat in Bormio, during which youth products Marco Sordi, Vittorio Parigini and Mattia Aramu were aggregated to the first team.
During the 2013–14 season, the club played its best season in the top flight since 1991–92 Serie A – in which the team placed third, with 43 points – finishing in seventh place thanks to goals from Alessio Cerci and the new signing Ciro Immobile, who became (together with Juventus attacking pair Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente) the most prolific strike partnership in Serie A with 35 goals total. Immobile, in particular, finished the season as the Capocannoniere with 22 goals, Torino's first since Francesco Graziani in 1976–77. In Coppa Italia the team was instead eliminated in the third round by Pescara.
At the end of the season, after failing to qualify for a UEFA Europa League placement on the field, Torino was later admitted to the competition after exclusion of Parma, who finished sixth but failed to obtain a UEFA license: Thus, Torino found themselves on the continental stage for the first time since the Intertoto Cup of 2002 and, in terms of major competitions, the Cup Winners' Cup in 1994.
