The 12th Parliament of Singapore was a meeting of the Parliament of Singapore. The first session commenced on 10 October 2011 and was prorogued on 15 April 2014; the second session began on 16 May 2014 and ended on 25 August 2015, with the final sitting held one week earlier on 18 August. The membership was set by the 2011 Singapore General Election on 7 May 2011 and changed twice due to expulsion of Hougang Single Member Constituency MP in 2012 and resignation of Punggol East Single Member Constituency MP and Speaker of Parliament over extra-marital affairs in 2013. A third seat fell vacant on 23 March 2015 following the death of Lee Kuan Yew, former Prime Minister of Singapore and MP of Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency; with Lee's death, the 12th Parliament was the final Parliament term to feature at least one member from the pre-independence Legislative Assembly or from the inaugural Parliament.

The 12th Parliament was controlled by a People's Action Party majority, led by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and members of the cabinet, which assumed power on 7 May 2011. The Opposition was led by the Secretary General of the Worker's Party of Singapore, Mr Low Thia Khiang. The Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore was Halimah Yacob, of the People's Action Party.
