The 2013 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship was held from November 15 to 24, 2012 at the Town of Mount Royal Curling Club in Mount Royal, Quebec.[1] This edition marked the fiftieth edition of the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship and the third time that the province of Quebec has hosted the Canadian Mixed Championship. This edition also marked the first time that the qualifying round for relegated teams was implemented in the championship.[2] In the final, Ontario, skipped by Cory Heggestad, defeated Nova Scotia, skipped by Brent MacDougall, with a score of 10–3 in eight ends.[3] Heggestad and his team won their first Canadian Mixed title, and Ontario won its third title in the championships.[4]

The four winning players were invited to play as two separate pairs at the inaugural 2013 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Trials,[5] though they did not participate.
