The 1913 Auburn Tigers football team represented Auburn University in the 1913 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. The Tigers were retroactively recognized as a national champion in 1999 by the Billingsley Report's alternative calculation which considers teams' margin of victory. The team was coached by Mike Donahue and was undefeated at 8–0, outscoring opponents 224–13.

Auburn was the champion of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The team played just two games at home.[1][2] Under Billingsley's primary methodology, Chicago was recognized as the national champion.[3][4] Although it is a recognized national championship,[5] Auburn does not claim the title, but does acknowledge it in its official media guide.
