The 1913 Chicago Maroons football team was an American football team that represented the University of Chicago as a member of the Western Conference during the 1913 college football season. In coach Amos Alonzo Stagg's 22nd year as head coach, the Maroons finished with a 7–0 record and outscored opponents by a total of 124 to 27.[1][2]

There was no contemporaneous system in 1913 for determining a national champion. However, Chicago was retroactively named as the 1913 national champion by the Billingsley Report and as a co-national champion by Parke H. Davis.[3]

Center Paul Des Jardien was a consensus first-team selection on the 1913 All-America college football team.[4] He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955.[5] Other notable players on the 1913 Chicago team included halfback Nelson Norgren, quarterback Paul Russell, and end Huntington.
