Prospectus Supplement No. 13                    Filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)
to Prospectus dated June 5, 2002                File No. 333-82788

                                 CEPHALON, INC.

           $600,000,000 2 1/2% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2006

         This document supplements information contained in that certain
prospectus of Cephalon, Inc. dated June 5, 2002, as amended and supplemented
from time to time, relating to the potential resale from time to time of
$600,000,000 2 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 and 7,407,480 shares
of common stock by the selling securityholders identified in the prospectus and
any prospectus supplements. This prospectus supplement is not complete without,
and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with the prospectus,
including any amendments or supplements thereto.

         The following table supplements, or amends, as noted, the information
contained in the table set forth in the prospectus under the caption "Selling
Securityholders." This table sets forth information regarding (1) the beneficial
ownership of the notes, and the maximum principal amount of notes that each may
offer and (2) the number of shares of common stock that each selling
securityholder may sell under this prospectus. Because the selling
securityholders may offer all or a portion of the notes and the common stock, if
converted, under the prospectus, we cannot estimate with certainty the principal
amount of the notes or the common stock that the selling securityholders will
hold upon termination of any sale. For this reason, we have assumed that either
all of the principal amount of notes offered by a selling securityholder or all
of the shares of common stock offered will be sold. The following table is based
upon information furnished to us by the selling securityholders as of the date
such information was provided to us.
