The 2013 Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns football program represented the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the 2013 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were led by third-year head coach Mark Hudspeth and played their home games at Cajun Field. They were a member of the Sun Belt Conference. They finished the season 9–4 overall and 5–2 in Sun Belt play to claim a share of the conference title with Arkansas State.
