The 2013 Weber State Wildcats football team represented Weber State University in the 2013 NCAA Division I FCS football season. Jody Sears returned as the head coach for the 2013 season, after being the interim head coach during 2012, ^[1] and will be working with a new offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator in Robin Pflugrad and Eric Lewis. ^[2] Weber State played their home games at Stewart Stadium. They were a member of the Big Sky Conference. They finished the season 2–10, 1–7 in Big Sky play to finish in a tie for 11th place.

On November 26, head coach Jody Sears was fired after a two-season record of 4–19. It was part of Sears' three-year contract, signed after his first year as interim head coach, that he could be fired without compensation if the Wildcats failed to win four games in a season. ^[3]
