The 2012–13 Håndboldligaen was the 77th season of the Håndboldligaen, Denmark's premier Handball league.
Aalborg Håndbold won the championship, when they beat KIF Kolding København in the final. Nordsjælland Håndbold should have been relegated, when they finished last in the regular season, but due to Viborg HK pulling their men's team, they could stay in the league.
The previous season's champions, AG København, had gone bankrupt and had fused with KIF Kolding, making KIF Kolding København.
