The 2013 Abilene Christian Wildcats football team represented Abilene Christian University in the 2013 NCAA Division I FCS football season. Led by second-year head coach Ken Collums, the Wildcats compiled a record of 6–5.[1] Abilene Christian played their home games at Shotwell Stadium in Abilene, Texas.
Abilene Christian played their first transition season at the FCS level in 2013, however, they were not considered a FCS team for scheduling purposes until 2014 and were ineligible for the NCAA Division I Football Championship playoffs and the NCAA Division II Football Championship playoffs. They played a mixed schedule of teams from the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), NCAA Division II, and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The Wildcats joined the Southland Conference for football in the 2014 season, which counted as the second year in a four-year transition into NCAA Division I. They became eligible for the FCS playoffs in 2017.[2]
