The 2012 season was the Hawthorn Football Club's 88th season in the Australian Football League and 111th overall.

The season would prove to be Hawthorn's most dominant season in the 2012-2015 run of consecutive successful years, only to be denied the ultimate success in the 2012 AFL Grand Final due to inaccurate kicking.
