The East Sussex County Council election, 2013 took place on 2 May 2013, when all 49 seats on East Sussex County Council were up for election.

At this election, the Conservative Party was seeking to retain overall control of the council, and the Liberal Democrats to maintain their position as the main opposition party. However, as elsewhere in South East England, the UK Independence Party made strong gains, winning 7 seats (their first ever seats on the council), and Labour also gained seats from the Conservatives. The number of Independent members increased to 5.

The Conservatives were reduced to 20 seats on the 49-member council, moving East Sussex into the category of No overall control.
