The 2012 Women's Hockey Champions Trophy was the 20th edition of the Hockey Champions Trophy for women. It was held from 28 January to 5 February 2012 in Rosario, Argentina. This was the last annual edition of the tournament until 2014 when it returned to its original biannual format due to the introduction of the FIH Hockey World League.

Argentina won the tournament for the fifth time after defeating Great Britain 1–0 in the final. The Netherlands won the third place match by defeating Germany 5–4.

Format

Another format change was announced. The eight participating teams were split into two groups. After they played a round-robin every team advanced to the knockout stage. From there on, a knockout system was used to determine the winner.

Qualification

A change in the qualification process was decided. Along with the host nation, the top five finishers from the tournament's previous edition and the winner of the 2011 Champions Challenge I qualify automatically. In addition to the two teams nominated by the FIH Executive Board, the following eight teams, competed in this tournament.

• Argentina (Host nation)
• Netherlands (Defending champions)
• New Zealand (Third in 2011 Champions Trophy)
• South Korea (Fourth in 2011 Champions Trophy)
• Great Britain (Fifth in 2011 Champions Trophy as England)
• Japan (Winner of 2011 Champions Challenge I)
• China (Nominated by FIH Executive Board)
• Germany (Nominated by FIH Executive Board)
