The 2013–14 Football League Trophy, known as the Johnstone's Paint Trophy for sponsorship reasons, was the 33rd season in the history of the competition. It is a knock-out tournament for English football clubs in League One and League Two, the third and fourth tiers of the English Football League.

In all, 48 clubs entered the competition. It was split into two sections, Northern and Southern, with the winners of each section contesting the final at Wembley Stadium. Crewe Alexandra were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the Second Round.

Peterborough United of League One won the competition for the first time in their history, defeating League Two side Chesterfield in the final 3–1.
