The 1912 Vanderbilt Commodores football team represented Vanderbilt University in the 1912 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. The 1912 season was Dan McGugin's 9th year as head coach. Members of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA), the Commodores won their third straight conference title this year, posting a 8–1–1 record (4–0–1 SIAA). Vanderbilt outscored its opponents 391 to 19.
The 105–0 victory over Bethel was the largest in the school's history. The team's only loss was to national champion Harvard. They also suffered a tie to Auburn.
Several players received postseason honors. Lew Hardage was selected a third-team All-American by Walter Camp.
Vanderbilt faced its hardest schedule to date, and lost varsity letter winners in quarterback Ray Morrison, tackle Ewing Y. Freeland to Texas, and guard Will Metzger to business. Aside from Morrison, Vanderbilt retained the rest of its great backfield of the previous year with halfbacks Lew Hardage, the team's captain, and Wilson Collins, and fullback Ammie Sikes. Replacing Morrison at quarterback was renowned drop kicker Zach Curlin.
