The 2012–13 Vanderbilt Commodores men's basketball team will represent Vanderbilt University in the 2012–13 college basketball season. The team's head coach is Kevin Stallings, in his fourteenth season at Vanderbilt. The team plays their home games at Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville, Tennessee, as a member of the Southeastern Conference.

After a 21–10 regular season that fell short of lofty preseason expectations, the Commodores captured their first SEC Tournament Championship in 61 seasons on March 11, 2012, by defeating top-ranked Kentucky in the SEC Tournament Finals. The Commodores advanced to their third consecutive NCAA Tournament where they defeated Harvard in the second round before falling the third round to Wisconsin to finish the season 25–11.

Vanderbilt suffered devastating personnel losses after the 2011–12 season; of their six leading scorers, five graduated and the other declared for the 2012 NBA Draft. In all, the Commodores lost 88.1% of their scoring from 2011–12. Also, the Commodores' returning players had started a total of three games in the 2011–12 season. Of the 14 SEC teams in the 2012–13 season, Vanderbilt was one of only three that did not return a player who averaged double figures in points in the previous season, and the only team that returned fewer starts was Kentucky, which did not return a single player who had started a game in 2011–12.
