The '''1913 College Football All-America team''' is composed of [[college football]] players who were selected as All-Americans for the [[1913 college football season]].

Menke]] selected the INS All-America team.<ref name=INS/> Other sports writers, newspapers, coaches selecting All-America teams in 1913 included ''[[Harper's Weekly]]'', [[Fielding H. Yost]], and [[Parke H. Davis]].
