{beta} decay of {sup 113}Cd was studied with the help of a low background CdWO{sub 4} crystal scintillator (mass of 434 g) in an experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories of the INFN for a period of 2758 h. The shape of the spectrum of the non-unique fourth-forbidden decay of {sup 113}Cd was measured, and the half-life of {sup 113}Cd was determined as T{sub 1/2}=(8.04{+-}0.05)x10{sup 15} yr.
