# 2013–14 FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk season

The 2013–14 season was Dnipro's 23rd Ukrainian Premier League season, and their fourth season under manager Juande Ramos. They ended the season in Round of 32 of the UEFA Europa League, where they were eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur; they were excluded from the Ukrainian Cup for failing to attend their game.
Following the compulsory winter break the championship was due to resume on 1 March 2014, but due to the civil unrest in the country after the riots in Kyiv and continuing on with the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, the Premier League delayed the start of the spring stage. A decision was made by the Ukrainian Premier League to resume the competition on 15 March.
