The 2012–13 Football League Two was Wycombe Wanderers' 125th season in existence and their nineteenth season in the Football League. This page shows the statistics of the club's players in the season, and also lists all matches that the club played during the season.

Wycombe Wanderers ended the season strongly and finished in 15th place in League Two, after a poor start to the campaign.

The end of the season also saw the retirement of Gareth Ainsworth (Wycombe's player-manager). Ainsworth's career had spanned 18 years and saw him play for 10 different clubs. He made his final appearance in Wycombe's 1-1 draw with Port Vale on 27 April 2013.^[1]
