The 2012 William Hill Greyhound Derby took place during April and May with the final being held on 26 May 2012 at Wimbledon Stadium.{{cite web|url=http://www.gbgb.org.uk/resultsRace.aspx?id=805775|title=result|publisher=Greyhound Board of Great Britain|access-date=2016-08-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160917122225/http://www.gbgb.org.uk/resultsRace.aspx?id=805775|archive-date=2016-09-17|url-status=dead}}

Blonde Snapper trained by Mark Wallis won the final missing the trouble encountered by most of the field, he won after holding off a challenge from Farloe Ironman to take the £125,000 first prize. Defending champion Taylors Sky was well placed when being baulked.

Irish entry Razldazl Jayfkay trained by Dolores Ruth had broken the track record in the second round with a 28.08sec performance but suffered in a messy semi final race and was eliminated along with her other two leading runners Razldazl Rioga and Razldazl Bugatti.
