HAT-P-13b is an extrasolar planet approximately 697 light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major.

The planet was discovered when it transited across its sun, HAT-P-13. This planet is 0.851 the mass of Jupiter and 1.28 radius. The planet has a lower mass, but its overall size is larger than Jupiter.

The planet orbits every 2.9 days. This puts it very close to its star, making it likely to be a hot Jupiter world of great temperature.
