Provincial elections were held in the Pakistani province of Punjab on 11 May 2013, alongside nationwide general elections and three other provincial elections in the provinces of Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The remaining two territories of Pakistan, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, were ineligible to vote due to their disputed status.

The Pakistan Muslim League (N) returned triumphant in this elections, retaining Shehbaz Sharif as Chief Minister of Punjab. They obtained 313 our of 371 total seats, giving them a comfortable 4/5 majority in the assembly.

In the 2008 elections, the PML (N) and the PPP formed a coalition government, with PML (N) as the senior party and Shehbaz Sharif as Chief Minister of Punjab. However, in 2011, the PPP was expelled from this coalition due to corruption in the Federal Government, (which was led by the PPP at the time).
