Thirteen is an album by the American musician Emmylou Harris, released in 1986.[1][2] The title came from its status as her thirteenth studio album (if one does not count her 1969 first album, released on an independent label, which Harris herself rarely acknowledges).

The album was coproduced by Harris's then-husband, Paul Kennerley.[3] It became available as a CD in 2013 in a compilation issued by the Rhino Entertainment Company called Emmylou Harris Original Album Series Vol.2.

Two low-charting singles in the Hot Country Singles were released from the album - If I Had My Heart Set on You (#60) and Today I Started Loving You Again (#43). Still, the latter netted Emmylou Harris another nomination for Best Female Country Vocal Performance at the 29th Annual Grammy Awards. The award, however, went to Reba McEntire for Whoever's in New England.
