The 1513 Marash earthquake or Maraş earthquake allegedly affected Marash in 1513 or 1514. It followed about 400 years after the 1114 Marash earthquake and after about 500 years was followed by the 2023 Marash earthquake. Nicholas Ambraseys examined a 16-century account of the earthquake and inferred that the cities of Malatya, Tarsus and Adana were "almost totally destroyed" by an earthquake. Due to the distances between these cities spanning more than 340 km (210 mi), he suggested a minimum magnitude of 7.4. However, he warned of insufficient descriptions to accurately date the event and determine its felt area. Viviana Castelli and Massimiliano Stucchi later investigated additional documents and historic monuments in these towns but did not find evidence of a highly destructive event. Additionally, the timing of the earthquake coincided with conflicts involving the Ottoman, Safavid and Mamluk empires but there are no descriptions of destruction by an earthquake nor the relief efforts in the area. The pair suggested that the descriptions of earthquake damage were exaggerated and most likely the result of conflation of two separate and smaller events at different places.
