The 2013 Old Dominion Monarchs football team represented Old Dominion University in the 2013 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They were led by fifth year head coach Bobby Wilder and played their home games at Foreman Field at S. B. Ballard Stadium. This season was season one of a two year transition to the Football Bowl Subdivision where the Monarchs will become a member of Conference USA. As a result, the Monarchs were competing as a FCS independent and were ineligible for the FCS playoffs. In 2014, Old Dominion will be eligible to win the C-USA Championship, but they will be unable to attend a post-season bowl until the 2015 season.
