The 2013 FIM Moto2 World Championship was the intermediate class of the 65th Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Road Racing World Championship season. Marc Márquez was the reigning champion, but did not contest in season as he joined MotoGP with Repsol Honda.

Season summary Pol Espargaró became champion in the class, after overhauling Scott Redding towards the end of the season. With six race victories, Espargaró won the championship by 40 points ahead of Redding, who won three races, with third place going to Esteve Rabat, a three-time race winner. Nicolás Terol, who finished seventh, was another three-time race winner, with other victories taken by Mika Kallio (fourth) and Jordi Torres, who was tenth in the championship. In the constructors' championship, Kalex won thirteen of the seventeen races to win the title by almost 100 points from Suter, who won the other four races.
