The 2013 Tour de Pologne was the 70th running of the Tour de Pologne cycling stage race. It started on 27 July in Rovereto, Italy – as part of two stages in the country – and ended on 3 August in Kraków, after seven stages. It was the twentieth race of the 2013 UCI World Tour season.
The race was won by Orica–GreenEDGE rider Pieter Weening of the Netherlands, after gaining enough time on the final time trial stage to move ahead of the previous race leader Christophe Riblon of the Ag2r–La Mondiale squad. Weening – runner-up to Kim Kirchen in the 2005 edition of the race – had trailed by 27 seconds (in fifth place) going into the stage, but overturned this disadvantage to eventually win the race by 13 seconds over Euskaltel–Euskadi's Jon Izagirre, who also moved ahead of Riblon on the final stage. Riblon – the winner of the race's queen stage, the second stage, to the Passo Pordoi in Trentino – ultimately completed the podium, three seconds down on Izagirre, and sixteen in arrears of Weening.
The race's other jerseys all went to Polish riders; the points classification went to Saxo–Tinkoff rider Rafał Majka, who finished as the best-placed Polish rider in fourth place, and led the race for three days due to his consistent finishing in the first half of the race. For the second year in succession, Tomasz Marczyński won the mountains classification for Vacansoleil–DCM, while Bartosz Huzarski was the winner of the intermediate sprints classification for NetApp–Endura. The teams classification was comfortably won by RadioShack–Leopard, finishing nearly twenty minutes clear of the next best team, Cannondale.
