The Nankai 12000 series (南海12000系 Nankai 12000-kei?) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Nankai Electric Railway in Japan on Southern Premium limited express services between Namba and Wakayamashi since September 2011. Two four-car trainsets were delivered, replacing the older 10000 series sets.
The new trains feature "Plasmacluster" air-purification technology developed by Sharp Corporation, representing the first use in a private operator (i.e. non-JR) train in Japan.
Passenger seats are 460 mm (18 in) wide, 25 mm (0.98 in) wider than in previous trains, and AC power outlets are provided.

The two end cars are each fitted with one PT7144-B single-arm pantograph.
Car 1 has a universal access toilet.
