The 2013 Bavarian state election was held on 15 September 2013 to elect the 180 members of the 17th Landtag of Bavaria. It was held one week before the 2013 German federal election. The CSU won an absolute majority, while the FDP, a coalition party in the outgoing Bavarian government, did not receive enough votes to enter the new parliament.

The CSU regained an absolute majority of the seats, which they lost 5 years ago after about 50 years of one party government. The FDP fell below the 5% threshold for obtaining seats. SPD, Grünen and FW stayed in opposition. A record number of 14.1% of the votes cast are not represented in the Landtag because of the 5% threshold.
