The 1913 New Hampshire football team was an American football team that represented New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts during the 1913 college football season—the school became the University of New Hampshire in 1923. Under second-year head coach Tod Eberle, the team finished with a record of 2–4.
Schedule During this era, teams played in the one-platoon system. This was the second season using scoring values consistent with the present day: six points for a touchdown, one point for a conversion kick (extra point), and three points for a field goal.

Each of the above players, except members of the class of 1914 (Brackett, Reardon, and Woodman), appeared in a list of varsity letter winners in the school's 1916 yearbook. As the policy of this era was to award varsity letters to 13 players plus the team's student manager, and the 1916 yearbook summarized two seasons of football play (as no 1915 yearbook was published), it is inferred that Brackett, Reardon, Woodman, and Davis also received letters.
