The 2013 Abilene Christian Wildcats football team represents Abilene Christian University in the 2013 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Wildcats played their first transition season of collegiate football at the FCS level. However, they were not considered a FCS team for scheduling purposes until 2014. They were led by second year head coach Ken Collums. Home games were played at Shotwell Stadium. This was a transition season for the Wildcats. As a transitioning school from D2 to D1, the Wildcats were ineligible for the FCS Playoffs and the D2 playoffs. They played a mixed schedule of schools from the FBS, FCS, NAIA, and D-II. The Wildcats joined the Southland Conference for football in the 2014 season, and it counted as the 2nd year in a 4-year transition into the Division I level that will make them eligible for the FCS Playoffs in 2017–18. They finished the season 6–5.
