The 2013 E3 Harelbeke was the 56th running of the E3 Harelbeke single-day cycling race. It was held on 22 March 2013, over a distance of 211 kilometres (131.1 miles) and was the sixth race of the 2013 UCI World Tour season.
The race was won for the third time by RadioShack–Leopard rider Fabian Cancellara, after he made a solo attack with around 35 km (21.7 mi) remaining of the race. Second place went to Peter Sagan of the Cannondale team, while third place went to the BMC Racing Team's Daniel Oss; both of those riders finished 64 seconds behind Cancellara.
As E3 Harelbeke was a UCI World Tour event, all UCI ProTeams were invited automatically and obligated to send a squad. Originally, eighteen ProTeams were invited to the race, with six other squads given wildcard places, and as such, would have formed the event's 24-team peloton. Team Katusha subsequently regained their ProTour status after an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. With Team Katusha not originally invited to the race, race organisers announced their inclusion to the race, bringing the total number of teams competing to twenty-five. Each of the 25 teams entered eight riders to the race, making up a starting peloton of 200 riders.
The 25 teams that competed in the race were:
