The 2013 National League Championship Series, the 44th NLCS, was a best-of-seven playoff in Major League Baseball’s 2013 postseason pitting the top-seeded St. Louis Cardinals against the third-seeded Los Angeles Dodgers for Major League Baseball's National League pennant. The Cardinals beat the Dodgers in six games.

This was the fourth postseason meeting in the history of the Cardinals-Dodgers rivalry, after the 1985 NLCS (Cardinals won 4–2), 2004 NLDS (Cardinals won 3–1), and 2009 NLDS (Dodgers won 3–0).

The Cardinals would go on to lose to the Boston Red Sox in the 2013 World Series in six games.

As of 2026, this is the last time the Cardinals won the NL pennant.
