The 2013 Segunda División play-offs took place in June 2013. The Segunda División promotion phase (known as Promoción de ascenso) was the second phase of 2012–13 Segunda División and was to determine the third team which promoted to 2013–14 La Liga. Teams placed between third and sixth position (excluding reserve teams) took part in the promotion play-offs.

Regulations were the same that previous season:[1] the fifth placed faced the fourth, while the sixth positioned team faced the third. In case of an eliminatory competition tie, extra time would be played but there would not be a penalty shoot-out; the winner would be the best positioned team. The first leg of the semi-finals were played on 12 June, and the second leg on 15 June at home of the best positioned team. The final was also two-legged, with the first leg on 19 June and the second leg on 22 June, with the best positioned team also playing at home the second leg.[1] Almería and Girona played the final phase where Almería was winner and promoted to La Liga after two years of absence.[2] Alcorcón and Las Palmas were eliminated in semi-finals.[3]
