The 2012 Men's Hockey Champions Trophy was the 34th edition of the Hockey Champions Trophy men's field hockey tournament. The tournament was held between 1–9 December 2012 in Melbourne, Australia.

Australia won the tournament for a record thirteenth time after defeating the Netherlands 2–1 in the final, extending their record winning streak to five consecutive titles.
