The 2013 National League Division Series were two best-of-five-game series on the National League side in Major League Baseball's 2013 postseason to determine the teams to participate in the 2013 National League Championship Series. The three divisional winners (seeded 1-3 based on record) and a fourth team — the winner of a one-game Wild Card playoff — played in two series. TBS carried most of the games, with some on MLB Network.
These matchups were:
- (1) St. Louis Cardinals (Central Division champions) vs. (4) Pittsburgh Pirates (Wild Card Game winner): Cardinals win series 3–2.
- (2) Atlanta Braves (East Division champions) vs. (3) Los Angeles Dodgers (West Division champions): Dodgers win series 3–1.
The Pirates made their first postseason appearance since 1992, and their first appearance in the Division Series in franchise history (and only one as of 2025).
The Cardinals would go on to defeat the Dodgers in the NLCS, then lose the 2013 World Series to the American League champion Boston Red Sox.
