The 2013–14 Anaheim Ducks season was the 21st season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise. The Ducks achieved their best regular season record in franchise history, amassing 116 points and finishing first in the Western Conference and second in the NHL, behind the Boston Bruins by only a single point. However, the Ducks only won one playoff series; after defeating the Dallas Stars in six games in the first round, they fell in seven games to their crosstown rival Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference Semifinal.

This was Teemu Selanne's final season, following 23 NHL seasons and 15 in which he played for Anaheim. It was also Saku Koivu's final season.

The series included a Game 6 comeback wherein the Ducks scored a game-tying goal with 24 seconds remaining and then won the game in overtime.

The Ducks faced their crosstown rival Los Angeles Kings in the second round. The Ducks would fall behind 2–0 to begin the series, tie the series 2–2 and take their first lead after Game 5. They would not win again, however, as the Kings won the series 4–3 in a Game 7 decision.
