The 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy was a senior international figure skating competition in the 2013–14 season, held on 26–28 September 2013 at the Eislaufzentrum Oberstdorf. Medals were awarded in men's and ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. Nebelhorn was the last qualifying event for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Nebelhorn is held annually in Oberstdorf, Germany and is named after the Nebelhorn, a nearby mountain. It is one of the first international senior competitions of the season. Skaters are entered by their respective national federations.
Though most Olympic spots were earned at the 2013 World Championships, 6 spots in each of men's and ladies' singles, 4 in pair skating, and 5 in ice dancing were available at Nebelhorn for countries which remained without a berth in a discipline. Skaters from previously qualified countries also competed but only for medals; Nebelhorn could not be used to earn additional spots if a country already had one in a discipline.
Russia's Tatiana Volosozhar / Maxim Trankov won the pairs' event after placing first in both programs, while Germany's Maylin Wende / Daniel Wende and Mari Vartmann / Aaron Van Cleave took silver and bronze respectively. Great Britain's Stacey Kemp / David King, Ukraine's Elizaveta Usmantseva / Roman Talan, Estonia's Natalja Zabijako / Alexandr Zaboev, and Israel's Andrea Davidovich / Evgeni Krasnopolski earned Olympic berths for their countries.
