No, you cannot install SharePoint 2013 on Windows Server 2016.

Please follow the doc says.

Only Server 2008 and Server 2012 R2(only support SP 2013 SP1).

Someone has post in other threads about the version support thing.

SharePoint support version - 1 OS and version +1 SQL Server.

Hi, imughal,

As, Justin mentioned, SharePoint 2013 is NOT supported by Windows Server 2016 just as the software requirements saying. For now there is no update on MS server 2016 to make it support.

You can see the threads having the same question and some tests:
