Athletics events at the 2012 Summer Paralympics were held in the Olympic Stadium and in The Mall in London, United Kingdom, from 31 August to 9 September 2012.[1] 43 events were staged for athletes with spinal cord disabilities, and 3 staged jointly with cerebral palsy classes.

Athletes were given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allowed athletes to compete against others with a similar level of function.
The athletics classifications are:

- 20: Athletes with an intellectual disability
- 31–38: Athletes with cerebral palsy
- 40: Les Autres (others) (including people with dwarfism)
- 42–46: Amputees
- 51–58: Athletes with a spinal cord disability
The class numbers were given prefixes of "T" and "F" for track and field events, respectively.
