The 2012 Wyoming Senate election was held on November 6, 2012, to elect members to the Wyoming Senate for its 62nd session as part of the 2012 United States elections. Partisan primaries were held on August 21. Neither Republicans nor Democrats made any gains in the state senate. Of the fifteen seats up for election, only two saw competition between Republicans and Democrats, with each party winning one.

This election saw the newly-formed Country Party stand a handful of candidates against incumbent Republicans, who they saw as "essentially progressive big-government liberals." No Country candidate won a seat.
