The Australian women's cricket team toured England in 2013. The visitors were defending the Women's Ashes.

The only Test match of the tour took place on 11–14 August at Wormsley Park, and was drawn. Three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) were played: the first at Lord's on 20 August, and the other two at Hove on 23 and 25 August. Also three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches were played, on 27, 29 and 31 August, at Chelmsford, Southampton and Chester-le-Street respectively (the second and third of these being followed, on the same dates and at the same venues, by T20I matches in the concurrent Australian men's tour).

The tourists also played a match against the England Academy women on 5–6 August at Brunton Memorial Ground, Radlett. Australia won the match by 116 runs.

In 2013, for the first time, the Ashes were decided based on a points system, taking account not only of the one Test match, but also the results of limited-overs games. Six points were awarded for a Test victory (two points to each side in the event of a draw), and two points for a victory in any of the ODIs and T20I games.

In that series England regained the Ashes as a result of its victory in the second T20I match. The final points total was England 12, Australia 4.
