The 2012 Davis Cup (also known as the 2012 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas for sponsorship purposes) was the 101st edition of the tournament between national teams in men's tennis. The Czech Republic won the championship, beating Spain in the final, 3–2.{{cite web|title=Davis Cup scorecards – 2012|url=http://www.daviscup.com/en/draws-results/scorecards/scorecards-2012.aspx|website=www.daviscup.com|publisher=ITF}}

Czech Republic is the only country except United States and Australia to hold both Davis Cup and Fed Cup at the same time. The Czechs did the same in 2012, and they have also won the Hopman Cup.

The draw took place on 21 September 2011 in Bangkok, Thailand.{{cite news|url=http://www.daviscup.com/en/news/articles/bangkok-to-host-draw-for-2012-davis-cup.aspx|title=Bangkok to host draw for 2012 Davis Cup|date=15 August 2011|publisher=daviscup.com}}
