The 2013 Sepang GP2 Series round was the first of eleven scheduled one-make, single seater motor racing events of the 2013 GP2 Series. It was held on 23 and 24 March 2013 at the long Sepang International Circuit in Sepang, Selangor and was run in support of the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix. It was the second time in GP2 Series history that a race meeting was held in Malaysia after the 2012 round. The track is considered by drivers to be the toughest challenge of the season due to hot and unpredictable weather and the track's abrasive asphalt surface making tyre management necessary. As in the 2012 round, tyre supplier Pirelli brought the yellow-banded soft compound tyres and the orange-banded hard dry compound tyres to Malaysia.
