The 2012 Scandinavian Touring Car Championship season was the second Scandinavian Touring Car Championship season. The season started at Mantorp Park on 5 May and ended on 22 September at the brand new track at Solvalla in Stockholm. It would have been the first season to include cars built to the Next Generation Touring Car specification, but the plans ultimately fell through and no NGTC cars ever raced in Scandinavia.
