The 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup was the seventh FIFA Futsal World Cup, the quadrennial international futsal championship contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA. It took place from 1 to 18 November 2012 in Thailand. An extra four teams (increase to 24 from 20 at the 2008 event in Brazil) were competing at this World Cup. This was the first FIFA men's tournament held in Southeast Asia since the Malaysia 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship, and was the first FIFA men's tournament held in the country, having hosted the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship.

Defending champions Brazil won the title for the fifth time, defeating Spain in a rematch of the 2008 final.

On 20 July 2009, FIFA launched the bidding for the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup with the following timeline:

On 19 March 2010, during its Executive Committee meeting, FIFA chose Thailand to host the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup. Thailand beat bids from China, Iran, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Sri Lanka and Guatemala.

The host nation, Thailand, qualified automatically.

The matches were originally due to take place across four venues. Due to construction delays and failure to meet the security requirement, early matches scheduled at the Bangkok Futsal Arena were moved to the Indoor Stadium Huamark. After the final inspection on 5 November, FIFA announced that the Bangkok Futsal Arena had not sufficiently met the criteria. The two quarter-final matches would be played at Nimibutr Stadium, while Indoor Stadium Huamark would host the semifinals and the final.

Each team submitted a squad of 14 players, including two goalkeepers. The squads were announced on 25 October 2012.

The following were the officials for the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup.
