Municipal elections were held in Rome on 26–27 May and 9–10 June 2013 to elect the Mayor of Rome and 48 members of the City Council, as well as the fifteen presidents and more than 400 councillors of the 15 municipi in which the municipality is divided.

In March 2013 the City Council cut down the number of municipi of the city from 19 to 15, reorganizing the local administrative areas. Also the number of the members of the City Council was reduced from 60 to 48.

The outgoing Mayor Gianni Alemanno (PdL) stood in the election for a second term. The centre-left coalition candidate, heart surgeon Ignazio Marino (PD), was chosen by a multi-party primary election on 7 April 2013. Since none of the candidates obtained the majority of votes on the first round, a second round vote was held on 9–10 June 2013. As a result, Ignazio Marino was elected mayor by a landslide.

The elections saw about 400,000 votes less than the previous municipal elections with one of the lowest turnout ever registered in Rome.
