Andy Murray defeated Novak Djokovic in the final, 6–4, 7–5, 6–4 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2013 Wimbledon Championships. It was his first Wimbledon title and second major title overall. Murray was the first Briton to win the title since Fred Perry in 1936, ending a 76-year drought, as well as the first British winner in singles since Virginia Wade won the women's event in 1977. He was also the first Scot to win the title since Harold Mahony in 1896.

Roger Federer was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to No.116-ranked Sergiy Stakhovsky. Federer's loss marked the first time since the 2004 French Open that he failed to reach the quarterfinals at a major, ending a streak of 36 consecutive quarterfinals at majors. It was his earliest exit in Wimbledon since 2002, and the first time he lost to a player ranked outside the top 100 since 2005.

Djokovic advanced to the final after a five-set semifinal against Juan Martín del Potro. At 4 hours and 43 minutes, this match was the longest semifinal ever contested at Wimbledon at the time, breaking the previous record of 4 hours 1 minute set by Boris Becker and Ivan Lendl in 1989. This would be surpassed in 2018, when Djokovic defeated Rafael Nadal in the semifinals lasting 5 hours and 15 minutes, while Kevin Anderson defeated John Isner in 6 hours and 36 minutes in the other semifinal match.

In the first round, No. 135-ranked Steve Darcis defeated world No. 5 and two-time Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal, ending Nadal’s streak of winning his first round matches in his first 34 major tournaments. Federer and Nadal's early exits made this the first time since 2002 that neither of them contested the Wimbledon final. For the first time since 1912, no Americans advanced past the second round. For the first time, a Polish man reached a major semifinal after Jerzy Janowicz defeated compatriot Łukasz Kubot in the quarterfinals.
