The 2013 Austrian Darts Open was the fourth of eight European Tour events on the 2013 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at the Arena Nova in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, from 31 May to 2 June. It featured a field of 64 players and £100,000 in prize money, with £20,000 going to the winner.
Michael van Gerwen won his second European Tour title by beating Mervyn King 6–3 in the final.
Qualification
The top 32 players from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on the 29 April 2013 automatically qualified for the event. The remaining 32 places went to players from three qualifying events - 20 from the UK Qualifier (held in Wigan on 3 May), eight from the European Qualifier and four from the Home Nations Qualifier (both held at the venue in Wiener Neustadt on 30 May).
Simon Whitlock, Adrian Lewis and Phil Taylor all withdrew before the event started. Two additional places were therefore available in the European Qualifier and one extra place was available in the Home Nation Qualifier.
