2013 Wake Forest Demon Deacons football team

The 2013 Wake Forest Demon Deacons football team represented Wake Forest University during the 2013 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team was coached by Jim Grobe, who coached his 13th season at the school, and played its home games at BB&T Field. Wake Forest competed in the Atlantic Coast Conference, as they have since the league's inception in 1953, and were in the Atlantic Division. They finished the season 4–8, 2–6 in ACC play to finish in sixth place in the Atlantic Division.

The team introduced two new helmets, a matte black with a gold "WF" logo and a white version of the normal black helmet. The white helmet made its debut against Boston College on September 6. The matte black helmet made its debut on October 5 against rival NC State.

After posting a fifth consecutive losing season, head coach Jim Grobe resigned at the end of the season after a 13-year record of 77–82. On December 10, Wake Forest hired Bowling Green head coach Dave Clawson as Grobe's replacement.
