2013–14 Chesterfield F.C. season

The 2013–14 season was Chesterfield's second in League Two following relegation in 2012, and manager Paul Cook's first full season in charge. After spending most of the season near the top of the table, Chesterfield were crowned League Two champions on the final day, to claim the League Two title for a record fourth time, and to seal their return to the third tier after a two-year absence.
