The 13th Parliament of Botswana is the current meeting of the National Assembly, the unicameral legislature of the Parliament of Botswana. Its membership was determined by the results of the 2024 general election. It began on 6 November 2024 following the 30 October 2024 general election and will end in or before November 2029 to trigger the next election.

The Parliament was elected using first-past-the-post voting. The Parliament has 61 elected members, an increase of four members, compared to the 12th Parliament, following the 2022 seat redistricting cycle, marking the first time since the inauguration of the 9th Parliament that the number of elected members has risen.[1][2]
