Big Brother Australia 2013, also known as Big Brother 10, is the tenth season of the Australian reality television series, Big Brother. It began on 28 July 2013, with a pre-recorded launch show airing on 29 July 2013 on the Nine Network.^[1] On 6 November 2013, after 101 days of competition, Tim Dormer won the competition and the $250,000 prize. It is the second season of the show to air on the network after it picked up the series in 2012, following a four-year absence. Sonia Kruger continued to host the show, with Mike Goldman continuing as narrator.

This season ran during the 2013 Australian Federal Election. As Australia has compulsory voting for elections, the housemates (except Jade, as she was not on the electoral roll) had to vote for this election while in the house. The Houseguest also received campaign messages recorded by each leader from the major political parties.^[2]

Nathan Little was the first housemate in the Big Brother franchise worldwide to evict himself and give his spot to another player.^[3]

Dormer later won a public vote to compete in the fourth season of Big Brother Canada. After 77 Days, he placed third. Dormer, Drew and Smyth later competed in the fourteenth season of Big Brother Australia as a part of Big Brother Royalty.
