The 2013 Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board elections were held on November 5, 2013 to elect the nine members of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board for four-year terms. Three members were elected from one citywide, at-large district via the single transferable vote and six from single-member districts via instant-runoff voting, both popularly known collectively as ranked choice voting. Voters had the option of ranking separately up to three candidates for both the at-large district and for the district in which they reside.
