The 2013 BYU Cougars baseball team represented Brigham Young University in the 2013 NCAA Division I baseball season. Mike Littlewood was in his 1st season as head coach of the Cougars. BYU's baseball team came off a 2012 season in which they were 22-27. The Cougars played their home games at Larry H. Miller Field, part of the Miller Park Baseball/ Softball Complex. Picked to finish sixth in the WCC, BYU stunned most people and finished in a 3-way tie for second place. The Cougars won the #3 seed in the WCC Tournament where they knocked out #1-seed Gonzaga. BYU lost twice to eventual tournament champion San Diego to finish the season 32–21.
All conference games, most home games, and select road games (at Utah, UNLV, and Utah Valley) were broadcast on KOVO with Brent Norton (play-by-play) calling the games for his 24th consecutive season. A rotating selection of analysts was used. Jeff Bills acted as analyst for games in California, Nevada, & Utah while Gary Pullins called the games in Oregon & Washington. Pullins was used as the sole analyst for the WCC Tournament. Many of these broadcasts were also broadcast on BYU Radio.
BYUtv broadcast 9 home games (Mar. 21 vs. Kansas, Mar. 29 vs. Pepperdine, Apr. 2 vs. Utah Valley, Apr. 12 vs. Portland, May 10–11 vs. San Francisco, and May 16–18 vs. Saint Mary's).

The WCC Tournament games were broadcast on WCC Network with a team of Andy Masur (play-by-play), Keith Ramsey (analyst), and Amanda Blackwell (reporter).
