The 2013 Buffalo Bills season was the franchise's 44th season in the National Football League and the first under head coach Doug Marrone. It was also the final season under the ownership of Ralph Wilson, who died in March 2014. The team equaled their record from 2012 and missed the playoffs, increasing their playoff drought to 14 seasons.

This was the first year of renewed leases on Ralph Wilson Stadium and for the Bills Toronto Series, both of which were signed in the preceding offseason. The Toronto series now expires in 2017; the lease on Ralph Wilson Stadium expires in 2022 and will presumably be the last agreement with the aging stadium, as the lease specifies that the process of exploring a new stadium begins during the lease period. The Bills also started the 2013 season with a new starting quarterback, first-round draft pick E. J. Manuel, after Ryan Fitzpatrick (the starter for the past 2.7 seasons) refused a reduced contract and was subsequently released.
