The 2012–13 South Florida Bulls men's basketball team represented the University of South Florida Bulls during the 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. This was the 42nd season of basketball for USF and its 8th season as a member of the Big East Conference. The team was coached by Stan Heath in his sixth year at the school. USF played its home games at the newly renovated USF Sun Dome. They finished the season 12–19, 3–15 in Big East play to finish in a tie for 13th place. They lost in the first round of the Big East Tournament to Seton Hall.
This was the Bull's final season in the Big East Conference. With the Catholic 7 schools taking the Big East name with them to a new conference, the Bull's will become a member of the American Athletic Conference.
After completing massive renovations to the USF Sun Dome, the Bulls will return to their home venue after a year away. The opening game was scheduled to be on November 10 against rival UCF.

At Big East Media day, USF was selected to finish in 8th place in the Big East Preseason Coaches' Poll, their highest selection since joining the Big East in 2005. Sophomore point guard, Anthony Collins was also awarded at Big East Media Day, being selected to the Preseason All-Big East Second Team.
USF notched its first ever win in the SEC-Big East Challenge with a home victory over Georgia on November 30. That victory helped the Big East Conference to a 9-3 victory over the SEC.
