Richie Barker Nicky Adams (8) 5,058 (vs. Portsmouth, 9 September) All: 5,880 (vs. Reading, 5 January) 2,544 (vs. Crewe Alexandra, 26 March) All: 1,249 (vs. Gillingham, 4 September) The 2012–13 season was the 63rd season in which Crawley Town played senior football, and the eighth as a fully professional team. Crawley Town competed in Football League One, the third tier of English football, following consecutive automatic promotions from the 2010–11 Football Conference and the 2011–12 Football League Two during the past two seasons.

Sean O'Driscoll, who was appointed Crawley manager in May 2012, left the club just two months later to manage Nottingham Forest, despite not having taken charge of a competitive game. Richie Barker succeeded as manager on 7 August 2012, after agreeing compensation with Bury.

On 5 January 2013, in their third round FA Cup tie with Premier League side Reading, Crawley had a record attendance of 5,880 at Broadfield Stadium.

Crawley finished the season in 10th place.
