The 2013–14 season was Leicester City F.C.'s 109th season in the English football league system and their 62nd (non-consecutive) season in the second tier of English football. They were playing their fifth consecutive season in the Football League Championship.

The season saw Leicester win their seventh second tier title, equalling the record for the most second tier titles set by Manchester City after leading the table since Boxing Day and comfortably earning promotion with six games to spare, before winning the title with two games to spare.

Along the way, they broke several club records including most points in a single season (102), most league wins in a single season (31), most league home wins in a single season (17), the most consecutive league wins (9), the most consecutive away league wins (5), the longest unbeaten run away from home in the league (13) and the most consecutive league games scored in (31) (the latter two records continued on to the following season).
