The Amazing Race 13 is the 13th installment of the US reality television competition series The Amazing Race. It featured 11 teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world.

The 13th season was part of the fall lineup for the 2008–09 season. It aired Sunday nights at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT from September 28, 2008 until the season finale on December 7, 2008.

Siblings Nicholas "Nick" Spangler and Emily "Starr" Spangler were the winners of this race. Excluding the Family Edition of season 8, "Starr" remains the youngest person ever to win The Amazing Race, at age 21. Nick and Starr are also the first team of siblings to win the competition.

A DVD for this season was released on April 8, 2014, through Amazon's CreateSpace program.

The Amazing Race 13 spanned 40,000 miles (64,000 km) in 23 days, visiting eight different countries. This included the series' first visits to Bolivia, Cambodia and Kazakhstan, and return visits to Brazil, New Zealand, India, and Russia, with the finish line in Portland, Oregon. CBS had originally planned to only air one installment of The Amazing Race (season 12) in the 2007–08 season, but due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, CBS ordered a 13th installment as a replacement for programs affected by the strike. CBS greenlit the 13th installment on December 9, 2007. Race locations were scouted in January 2008 and filming took place between April and May 2008.
