The 2013 Spanish Grand Prix (officially the Formula 1 Gran Premio de España 2013) was a Formula One motor race that was held on 12 May 2013 at the Circuit de Catalunya in Montmeló, Spain.{{cite web|title=FIA Formula One calendar |url=http://www.fia.com/championship/formula-1-world-championship/2013/calendar |work=FIA.com |publisher=Fedération Internationale de l'Automobile |access-date=24 April 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130422152613/http://www.fia.com/championship/formula-1-world-championship/2013/calendar |archive-date=22 April 2013 }} The race was the fifth round of the 2013 season, and marked the forty-third running of the Spanish Grand Prix as a round of the Formula One World Championship, and the twenty-third running at Catalunya.

Nico Rosberg took pole position for the race, ahead of his teammate Lewis Hamilton.{{cite news|title=Rosberg leads Mercedes front row sweep in Spain|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/107337|work=Autosport.com|publisher=Haymarket Publications|date=11 May 2013|access-date=12 May 2013}} Fernando Alonso took his thirty-second and most recent Grand Prix victory—and his second in his home race—ahead of Lotus-Renault's Kimi Räikkönen and Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa in third. Pole sitter Nico Rosberg finished sixth overall. The most notable overtaking move came on the first lap as Fernando Alonso went round the outside of both Kimi Räikkönen and Lewis Hamilton going into turn 3.{{cite news|title=Fernando Alonso takes commanding home win|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/107372/|work=Autosport.com|publisher=Haymarket Publications|date=12 May 2013|access-date=13 May 2013}} Ferrari's strategy of making 4 pit stops was risky but proved to be the best choice as Alonso was able to beat Räikkönen who did one less to claim victory.{{Cite web|url=https://www.racefans.net/2013/05/12/2013-spanish-grand-prix-tyre-strategies-pit-stops/|title=2013 Grand Prix tyre strategies and pit stops|website=www.racefansdriver.net|date=12 May 2013 |access-date=21 May 2020}} This race was the most recent Formula One victory for Alonso {{asof|2024|lc=y}}, the last race to be won by a Spanish driver until Carlos Sainz Jr. won the 2022 British Grand Prix, and the last race to be won by Ferrari until the 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix.{{cn|date=July 2022}}
