The 2012 OFC Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament was the qualifying tournament to the football competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London for the member nations of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC). The tournament was played in New Zealand, after an OFC decision to strip Fiji of the rights to host the tournament was made in January 2012. It was announced on 7 February 2012 that Taupo would host the qualifiers, with the sole venue being Owen Delany Park.

New Zealand won the tournament and qualified for the Olympic Games.

The teams' paths to the Olympics were revealed on 17 February 2012.
