The 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational was a professional golf tournament played August 1–4 on the South Course of Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. It was the 15th WGC-Bridgestone Invitational tournament, and the third of the World Golf Championships (WGC) events held in 2013.

Aided by a second round 61 (−9), Tiger Woods won the event for the eighth time, seven strokes ahead of runners-up Keegan Bradley and Henrik Stenson. It was Woods' 18th WGC victory. The win was also the 79th, and most recent, Tour title for Woods.

The South Course, opened in 1929, was designed by Bert Way and redesigned by Robert Trent Jones in 1960.

The field consisted of players drawn primarily from the Official World Golf Ranking and the winners of the world-wide tournaments with the strongest fields.
