The 2012 NCAA National Collegiate women's ice hockey tournament involved eight schools in single-elimination play that determined the national champion of women's NCAA Division I college ice hockey. The Frozen Four were hosted by the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs at AMSOIL Arena in Duluth, Minnesota. North Dakota reached the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history. The Minnesota Golden Gophers defeated the Wisconsin Badgers 4–2 for their third championship in program history and first since 2005.

The winners of the ECAC, WCHA, and Hockey East tournaments all received automatic berths to the NCAA tournament. The other five teams were selected at-large. The top four teams were then seeded and received home ice for the quarterfinals.
