The 2013 Brisbane Broncos season was the 26th in the club's history. Coached by Anthony Griffin and captained by Sam Thaiday, they competed in the NRL's 2013 Telstra Premiership. Brisbane finished the regular season in 12th (out of 16), thus failing to qualify for the finals for the first time since 2010.

According to a 2013 report, the Brisbane Broncos had the highest brand equity of any Australian sporting brand.[1] 2013 was however their worst season ever.
