The 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 16 to 24 at the K-Rock Centre in Kingston, Ontario. It was the ninth time Ontario hosted the Tournament of Hearts. Ontario last hosted the Scotties in 2010 in Sault Ste. Marie.
In the final, Rachel Homan of Ontario defeated former Scotties champion Jennifer Jones with a score of 9–6 to claim her first Scotties title. Homan and her team went on to represent Canada at the 2013 World Women's Curling Championship in Riga, Latvia.
In the fifty-third edition of the Canadian Women's Curling Championship, there was a mix of veterans and newer faces in the team rosters. The defending champion Heather Nedohin rink represented Team Canada, while 2007 world champion Kelly Scott and her rink from British Columbia and 2008 world champion Jennifer Jones and her team from Manitoba also made appearances. Two-time world champion Mary-Anne Arsenault and her team from Nova Scotia (including six-time Hearts champion Colleen Jones throwing second stones) made a notable appearance. 2005 Canadian Junior champion Andrea Crawford skipped her team from New Brunswick, and 11-time Territories champion Kerry Galusha skipped the Northwest Territories/Yukon team. Other teams included 2010 Olympic silver medalist Kristie Moore and her rink from Alberta, 2007 Canadian Junior Champion Stacie Devereaux from Newfoundland and Labrador, 2010 Canadian Junior Champion Rachel Homan and her rink from Ontario, 2001 World Junior Champion Suzanne Birt of Prince Edward Island and 1999 Ontario & 2005 Quebec champion Allison Ross representing Quebec. Only one skip made her Hearts debut, Jill Shumay of Saskatchewan.
