Census Division No. 13 (Selkirk Area) is a census division located within the Interlake Region of the province of Manitoba, Canada.

The City of Selkirk, Manitoba is the major service centre for the area. The economy of the division is manufacturing, agriculture and tourism and it is a bedroom community for the City of Winnipeg. The population of the division was 44,829 as of the 2006 census. Also included in the division is the main reserve (Brokenhead 4) of the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation.
