The 2013 Tulsa mayoral election was held on June 11, 2013 to elect the mayor of Tulsa, Oklahoma. No candidate received a majority vote in the primary elections, and the top two finishers advanced to a runoff election on November 12, 2013. Incumbent mayor Dewey F. Bartlett Jr. was re-elected to a second term after facing former mayor Kathy Taylor.[1]

This was the first mayoral election in Tulsa to use a nonpartisan two-round system rather than partisan primary system. Candidates' party affiliations did not appear on the ballot.[2]
