13 heures, originally 13 heures, le journal, is France 2's afternoon news program, seen weekdays at 1:00 pm (13:00) Central European Time in Metropolitan France.

This France 2 news program is seen opposite the similarly-named news program on commercial broadcaster TF1, TF1 13 Heures, which has twice the viewership of France 2's program. As a result, France 2's 13 heures has seen a frequent turnover of news anchors for the program -- 15 in the last ten years.

In the UK, an equivalent newscast is the BBC One O'Clock News, shown at 1:00 pm UK time and formerly anchored by George Alagiah.

13 heures is currently anchored by Elise Lucet.
