The 2013 Hungaroring GP3 Series round was a GP3 Series motor race held on 27 and 28 July 2013 at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród, Pest, Hungary. It was the fifth round of the 2013 GP3 Series. The race weekend supported the 2013 Hungarian Grand Prix.
Classification Summary Aaro Vainio claimed pole position, repeating his feat from the previous year. He made a good start ahead of Conor Daly but struggled to build a large gap. A late safety car was called to recover the car of Emanuele Zonzini, who collided with Luís Sá Silva, resulting in a two-lap sprint to the finish. Vainio held the lead to win the race, becoming the first two-time winner of the season. Daniil Kvyat finished in third, his first podium of the season.
Robert Vișoiu started on pole for the reverse grid sprint race. He made a clean getaway and held off teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. throughout the race. There was another penultimate-lap dash, this time following a safety car to recover Melville McKee and Lewis Williamson. Vișoiu led from lights to flag to win the race, with Sainz making it a one-two for MW Arden. Kevin Korjus took third place. Despite not scoring in either race, Tio Ellinas kept the championship lead, only one point ahead of Facu Regalia.
