The 2013 NCAA Division I men's basketball championship game was the finals of the 2013 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament and it determined the national champion for the 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The game was played on April 8, 2013, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, and featured the Midwest Regional Champion, #1-seeded Louisville, and the South Regional Champion, #4-seeded Michigan.
Louisville's title was subsequently vacated by the NCAA on June 15, 2017, as the result of a sex scandal involving players on the team, as well as potential recruits. This decision was upheld on February 20, 2018, resulting in no national champion being recognised for the season.
