The 2013 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games (Korean: 2013년 실내 무도 아시아 경기대회/2013년 실내 무도 아시안 게임, romanized: Icheon sip-sam nyeon silnae mudo Asia gyeonggi daehoe/Icheon sip-sam nyeon silnae mudo asian geim), officially 4th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games (Korean: 제4회 실내 무도 아시아 경기대회/제4회 실내 무도 아시안 게임, romanized: Jesahoe silnae mudo Asia gyeonggi daehoe/Jesahoe silnae mudo asian geim) and also known as Incheon 2013 (Korean: 인천2013, romanized: Incheon Icheon sip-sam), was a pan-continental event held in Incheon, South Korea from 29 June to 6 July 2013 that served as a dress-rehearsal for the upcoming 2014 Asian Games, which was also held in the same city. It was the first event to be held under the "Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games" name following the merger of two OCA events – Asian Indoor Games and Asian Martial Arts Games, inherited the edition numeral of the former.^[2][3] Doha, Qatar was initially scheduled to host the 4th Asian Indoor Games in 2011, but withdrawn in June 2008 due to "unforeseen circumstances", with the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) chose Incheon instead as a replacement and postponed the games to 2013.^[4][2][5]

The logo of the Games is a brush image of a Korean traditional 'Giwa' (Tile) Roof that resembles people – “人” (Hanja or Chinese character for "인" (In)) holding hands, the initial of Asia “A”, and the Incheon Bridge. The wordmark ‘incheon 2013’ under the roof resembles the athletes from countries of the region that compete in various sports of the games.^[6] Similar to the Asian Games, the event's mascots were three spotted seals named Barame, Chumuro, and Vichuan and the event's motto was Diversity Shines Here. (See 2014 Asian Games#Marketing)
