The 1913 New South Wales state election was held on 6 December 1913. This election was for all of the 90 seats in the 23rd New South Wales Legislative Assembly and it was conducted in single-member constituencies with a second ballot if a majority was not achieved on the first. The 22nd parliament of New South Wales was dissolved on 6 November 1913 by the Governor, Sir Gerald Strickland, on the advice of the Premier William Holman.

There was a redistribution in 1912 as a result of the removal of the Australian Capital Territory from the state New South Wales and population growth in the Sydney metropolitan area. Labor won 7 of the 12 second round ballots.
