The 2013–14 Melbourne Renegades season is the third in the club's history. Coached by David Saker and captained by Aaron Finch, they competed in the BBL's 2013–14 season.

Summary

Despite maintaining the majority of their squad from the previous season, and also recruiting Australian test bowlers Peter Siddle and James Pattinson, the Renegades struggled in the 2013–14 Big Bash League season, only winning 3 games, and in the process finishing 6th and missing the finals.
