The 2013–14 season was Bristol City's 116th season as a professional football club. It was the first season since 2006-7 that City had played in the third tier of English football, League One, following their relegation from the Championship the previous season. Sean O'Driscoll, who had overseen City's relegation, remained in charge at Ashton Gate in the early months of the season, until he was sacked and replaced by Steve Cotterill in November 2013.
