The 2013 NAIA baseball tournament was the 57th edition of the NAIA baseball championship. The 46-team tournament began on May 9 with Opening Round games across nine different sites and concluded with the 2013 NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho that began on May 24 and ended on May 31.

Top-seeded Faulkner (AL) defeated Lewis–Clark State (ID) 11–4 in the championship game for their 1st title in program history. This is the most recent NAIA World Series where the top seed went undefeated in the World Series.

The 46 participating teams were selected from all eligible NAIA teams with the World Series host receiving an automatic bid to the NAIA World Series. The remaining 45 teams participated in the Opening Round with 29 teams being awarded automatic bids as either champions and/or runners-up of their conferences, and 16 teams were selected at-large, which were determined by the final NAIA Baseball Coaches' Top 25 Poll. Teams were then placed into one of nine pre-determined Opening Round sites of five teams a piece, each of which is conducted via a double-elimination tournament. The winners of each of the Opening Round sites plus the World Series host team participated in the NAIA World Series.

Tournament procedure

A total of 46 teams entered the tournament. As World Series host, Lewis–Clark State received an automatic bid into the NAIA World Series. 29 automatic bids were determined by either winning their conference's regular season championship, conference tournament, and/or conference tournament runner-up. The other 16 bids were at-large, with selections determined by the final NAIA Baseball Coaches' Top 25 Poll.^[1]
