The 2012–13 season was Aberdeen's 100th season in the top flight of Scottish football. Aberdeen competed in the Scottish Premier League, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup. They finished 8th in the Premier League, reached the fourth round of the League Cup and the fifth round of the Scottish Cup. A number of players all departed during the summer's pre-season. Kari Arnason, Rory McArdle, Youl Mawene and Mohamed Chalali all moved on to new clubs as free agents. Darren Mackie, Yoann Folly and Danny Uchechi were also released by the club. Aberdeen also sold youngster Fraser Fyvie to Premier League side Wigan Athletic for a fee in the region of £500,000.
Manager Craig Brown made four additions, bringing in wingers Jonny Hayes and Niall McGinn from rival SPL clubs, as well as adding experienced left-back Gary Naysmith to his squad. Mark Reynolds who returned to his parent club Sheffield Wednesday at the end of last season, was allowed to return to Pittodrie on a season long loan.
Craig Brown retired as manager in 2013, with Derek McInnes taking over for the final five games of the season.
