The 2012 United States presidential election in Iowa took place on November 6, 2012, as part of the 2012 general election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. Iowa voters chose six electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan.

On election day, Barack Obama won Iowa with 51.99% of the vote to Mitt Romney's 46.18%, a Democratic victory margin of 5.81%. The result being closer than 2008, Romney picked up wins in several counties that Obama had won in 2008, although one county flipped in the opposite direction, with Obama narrowly winning Woodbury County in 2012 after narrowly losing it in 2008.
