A small number of municipalities in Serbia held local elections in 2013. These were not part of Serbia's regular cycle of local elections but took place in jurisdictions where either the local government had fallen or the last local elections for four-year terms had taken place in 2009.

All local elections in 2013 were held under proportional representation. Mayors were not directly elected but were instead chosen by elected members of the local assemblies. Parties were required to cross a five per cent electoral threshold (of all votes, not only of valid votes), although this requirement was waived for parties representing national minority communities.
