This is a list of notable '''deaths in 2012'''. Names are listed under the date of death. Names under each date are listed in alphabetical order by family name or ].

Deaths of notable animals and other biological life forms are also reported here.

A typical entry lists information in the following sequence:
* Name, age, country of citizenship and reason for notability, established cause of death, and reference.
<!--

* * * * * * * Please adhere to the guidelines below when adding a name to the list in this article. * * * * * * *

(1) Please list only those meeting Misplaced Pages notability guidelines. Please include a reference to a reliable source. If a Misplaced Pages article for the deceased does not yet exist, please reconsider whether the subject is actually notable. If so, please consider writing an article yourself. Those without a Misplaced Pages article are removed after one month.

(2) Please understand that the intent of this article is to report notable deaths. Tragic deaths, while unfortunate, do not necessarily render the deceased "notable". If you report the death of a subject that does not already have a Misplaced Pages article, please consider starting one, provided that the deceased is notable. Please include third-party sources other than the obituary.

(3) Please list entries in alphabetical order by family name. Please avoid overlinking. As such, please do not add links to nationalities, common occupations, or common causes of death. Rather, please include only "links that aid navigation and understanding". Thank you.

* * * * * * * Please adhere to the guidelines above when adding a name to the list in this article. * * * * * * *

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
