The first season of the American television series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., or simply Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., is based on the Marvel Comics organization S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division), a fictional peacekeeping and spy agency in a world populated with superheroes and numerous supernatural phenomena. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. The season originally aired on ABC from September 24, 2013, through May 13, 2014, over 22 episodes.

The season revolves around the character of Phil Coulson, with Clark Gregg reprising his role from the film series, and his team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who are assigned to several dangerous cases revolving around Project Centipede and its leader, The Clairvoyant, while Coulson also searches for answers concerning his mysterious resurrection after dying in The Avengers. Several other characters from MCU films and Marvel One-Shots also appear throughout the season, while some episodes directly crossover with the films Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It was produced by ABC Studios, Marvel Television, and Mutant Enemy Productions, and the executive producers were Joe Quesada, Jeffrey Bell, Jeph Loeb, Alan Fine, S.H.I.E.L.D. creator Stan Lee, and series creators Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen.

The series premiere was watched by 12.12 million viewers, the highest ratings received by the first episode of a drama series in the United States since the pilot episode of V in 2009. The season initially received a mixed reception, which also mirrored a decrease in ratings as the season progressed. However, reception grew more positive as the season progressed into its second half, which led to more consistent ratings. A second season began airing on ABC on September 23, 2014.
