The 1913 Victorian Football Association season was the 37th season of the Australian rules football competition. The premiership was won by the Footscray Football Club, after it defeated North Melbourne by one point in the final on 6 September. It was the club's fifth VFA premiership.
The home-and-home season was played over eighteen rounds, with each club playing the others twice; then, the top four clubs contested a finals series under the amended Argus system to determine the premiers for the season.
