The 2013 Calgary municipal election was held Monday, October 21, 2013 to elect a mayor and 14 councillors to the city council, the seven trustees to the Calgary School District (each representing two of 14 wards), and five of the seven trustees to the Calgary Catholic School District (each representing two of 14 wards). Two incumbent separate school trustees had no challengers. From 1968 to 2013, provincial legislation required every municipality to hold elections every three years.
