The 2013 European Athletics Indoor Championships were held at Scandinavium and Svenska Mässan in Gothenburg, Sweden, on 1–3 March 2013.

The decision to grant the event for Gothenburg was made by the European Athletics Council at their long meeting in Malta on October 15, 2007.

The European Athletic Association thought the two cities presented very good concepts, and it ended up with the two candidates get one championship each; Paris in 2011 and Gothenburg in 2013.

Last time Sweden hosted the European Indoor Championships was in 1996 when Ericsson Globe in Stockholm held the event.
