The 2013 Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens football team represented the University of Delaware in the 2013 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They were led by first-year head coach Dave Brock and played their home games at Delaware Stadium in Newark, Delaware. They were a member of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). They finished the season 7–5, 4–4 in CAA play to finish in a three-way tie for fifth place.

Delaware started 2012 strong with a four-game winning streak over West Chester, Delaware State, Bucknell, and William & Mary. After their peak at #9 in the polls, the Hens finished the season by losing six out of their final seven games, with the only victory against Rhode Island. Former coach K. C. Keeler was fired in January 2013, and most of the staff was released with his departure.

The Blue Hens received 12 letters of intent on National Signing Day, February 6, 2013.
