The 2012 Coupe de France Final was the 94th final of France's most prestigious football cup competition. The final took place on 28 April 2012 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis and was contested between Lyon and Quevilly. The winner of the Coupe de France is guaranteed a place in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League with the club's appearance being dependent on whether it qualifies for the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League. The final was broadcast live on France 2.

First division club Lyon defeated semi-professional third-tier Quevilly 1–0 in the final courtesy of a first half goal from Lisandro López to win its fifth Coupe de France title. The title is the club's first domestically since winning the same competition in 2008. The runners-up, Quevilly, alongside fellow National club Gazélec Ajaccio, were awarded the Petit Poucet Plaque, an award given to the best performing non-professional club in the Coupe de France.

Lyon appeared in its eighth Coupe de France final match. In the club's previous seven final matches, it won four of them, most recently in 2008 when Lyon defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1–0 courtesy of an extra time goal from Sidney Govou. The 2008 domestic cup title was Lyon's last trophy the club won during the Jean-Michel Aulas reign. Prior to 2008, Lyon last reached a Coupe de France final in 1976 when the club suffered a 3–0 defeat to Marseille. The Rhône-Alpes-based club made its second appearance at the Stade de France in two weeks having played at the country's national stadium on 14 April in the 2012 Coupe de la Ligue Final.
