The 2012 Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs season was the 78th in the club's history. Coached by Des Hasler and captained by Michael Ennis, they competed in the National Rugby League's 2012 Telstra Premiership, finishing the regular season in 1st place to take the minor premiership. They then won both of their finals matches to reach the 2012 NRL Grand final but were defeated by the Melbourne Storm.
Having just won the 2011 NRL Grand final with the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, coach Des Hasler left the club to be head coach of the Bulldogs.
Under the NRL's revised final eight system, the Bulldogs only played two home finals matches, winning both of them to reach the grand final.
The club were the first in almost 50 years to win all three minor premiershps, however none of the three teams were able to win a Grand Final.
