The 1913-14 season was Blackpool F.C.'s seventeenth season (fourteenth consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the twenty-team Division Two, then the second tier of English football, finishing sixteenth.

Joe Lane was the club's top scorer, with eleven goals.

When Levy Thorpe left the club in late October, he was on a streak of playing in 98 consecutive games for the club.

Season synopsis

After drawing their opening league game, 2–2 at home to Hull City, Blackpool went on to lose their next four games, scoring only once in the process. After their victory over Lincoln City at Bloomfield Road on 4 October, Blackpool went on an eight-game winless streak.

After winning only nine games all season, the club finished fifth from the bottom of the table, with the lowest goals-scored tally (33) in the division.

Their FA Cup run ended at the first hurdle with a single-goal defeat at Gillingham on New Year's Day.
