Monaco competed at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, England, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's nineteenth appearance at the Olympics, since its debut in 1920.

Comité Olympique Monégasque sent the nation's largest delegation to the Games, since the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. A total of 6 athletes, 5 men and 1 woman, competed in their respective sporting events. Among these athletes, single sculls rower Mathias Raymond and judoka Yann Siccardi made their second consecutive Olympic appearance. Backstroke swimmer Angelique Trinquier, the youngest and only female athlete of the team, at age 21, became the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony. Monaco, however, failed to win a single Olympic medal since its last time in 1924.
