The Russian submarine AG-12 was an AG-class submarine, designed by the American Holland Torpedo Boat Company/Electric Boat Company, built for the Imperial Russian Navy during World War I. The submarine was fabricated in Canada, shipped to Russia and reassembled for service with the Baltic Fleet. She was scuttled by the Russians at Hanko in April 1918.

Attempts were made by the Finns to salvage the vessel: She was raised in 1918 and transferred to Turku for repair, but this proved too costly and she was scrapped.
