The 2013 Texas Tech Red Raiders baseball team represented Texas Tech University during the 2013 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Red Raiders played their home games at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park as a member of the Big 12 Conference. The team was led by head coach Tim Tadlock in his first season as the team's head coach. As of the conclusion of the 2024 season, this is the team's only losing season under Tadlock.
