The 1912 World Allround Speed Skating Championships took place at 17 and 18 February 1912 at the ice rink Gamle Frogner in Kristiania, Norway.
Nikolay Strunnikov was defending champion but did not take part in these championships. Oscar Mathisen had the lowest amount of points awarded and won all four distances. He became World champion for the third time. He and Jaap Eden are the only ice-skaters winning the World championship three times (so far).

The ranking was made by award ranking points. The points were awarded to the skaters who had skated all the distances. The final ranking was then decided by ordering the skaters by lowest point totals.

Silver and bronze medals were awarded.
