The 2012 Arizona Wildcats baseball team represented the University of Arizona in the 2012 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Wildcats played their home games at Hi Corbett Field, off campus in Tucson, AZ. This was the first full season for the Wildcats at Hi Corbett Field, which is the former spring training home of the Cleveland Indians and Colorado Rockies. Andy Lopez was in his eleventh season as Arizona Wildcats baseball head coach. Lopez was in his twenty-fourth year as head coach. The Wildcats tied for first in the Pac-12 Conference with UCLA, finishing with a 20–10 conference record. The Wildcats finished the season with a 48–17 record. Six players were picked in the 2012 Major League Baseball Draft.

In the 2012 NCAA Division I baseball tournament, the Wildcats performed well in the NCAA Regional and Super Regional rounds, hosting in Tucson for first time since 1992 and winning 5 straight games. The Wildcats defeated Missouri once and Louisville twice to win the Tucson Regional. They then won the Tucson Super Regional by defeating St. John's in two consecutive games. The team reached the 2012 College World Series for the sixteenth time in program history, beating Florida State twice in the first and third game and UCLA in game two. The Wildcats faced two-time defending champion South Carolina in the championship series, sweeping both games to win the 2012 College World Series. This was Arizona's first College World Series championship since 1986, and fourth overall. They finished the post-season with a 10–0 record and were only the second team after South Carolina the previous year to do so.
