The 2013 Rutgers Scarlet Knights football team represented Rutgers University in the 2013 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Scarlet Knights played their home games at High Point Solutions Stadium in Piscataway, NJ as a member of the American Athletic Conference. This was the second season with Kyle Flood as the head coach, and last season before transitioning to playing in the Big Ten Conference. They finished the season 6–7, 3–5 in American Athletic play to finish in a tie for sixth place. They were invited to the Pinstripe Bowl where they were defeated by Notre Dame. Notre Dame would later vacate the win on November 22, 2016 due to academic violations.
They enter after finishing last season 9–4, 5–2 in Big East play to win the school's first ever Big East Conference football championship, sharing the conference title with Cincinnati, Louisville, and Syracuse.
Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood enters his second year as the Scarlet Knights' head coach for the 2013 season (eighth year on the coaching staff overall). During his first year as head coach, he led the Scarlet Knights to an overall record of 9 wins and 4 losses (9–4) and the 2012 Big East Championship as co-champions with Louisville, Syracuse, and Cincinnati. Flood was awarded as co-Big East Head Coach of the year.
Former offensive coordinator Dave Brock accepted an offer to become the head coach of the Delaware Blue Hens.
