The 4th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, which is also counted as the 4th Asian Indoor Games and designated as AIGs 4 was held in Incheon, South Korea, from 29 June to 6 July 2013, despite the ongoing 2013 Korean crisis. It was initially slated for Doha, Qatar, after the country cancelled the last edition of Asian Indoor Games in 2011. However, Incheon was chosen as a replacement instead by the OCA. This event also acted as a test event and a prelude to the 2014 Asian Games.

Nine different venues were used for these Games:

All 45 member countries of the Olympic Council of Asia were invited to compete at these Games. However, 43 OCA countries took part in this edition. North Korea and Timor-Leste declined to send their athletes to these Games. Indian athletes participated the Games under the Olympic flag because the Indian Olympic Association was suspended.

A total of twelve sports were approved for the 2013 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.
