The 2012 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship was held at the Milli Piyango Curling Arena in Erzurum, Turkey from April 23 to 29. Erzurum previously hosted the 2011 Winter Universiade, during which the Milli Piyango Curling Arena was used for the curling competition. Among the previous hosts of the World Mixed Doubles Curling Championships, Turkey is the nation with the least experience in curling; its curling federation joined the World Curling Federation in 2009. For the first time since 2009, the event was not held in conjunction with the same year's World Senior Championships.

Switzerland won its fourth title in five years, defeating Sweden in the final with a score of 7–6. Austria won its first medal at the World Mixed Doubles Championship with a 12–7 win in the bronze medal game over the United States, which had its best finish at the event.
