The 1912 VJFA Grand Final was an Australian rules football match contested between Port Melbourne Railway United and Yarraville at Croxton Park on 21 September 1912. The match was held to decide the premiership for the 1912 Victorian Junior Football Association (VJFA) season.

Railway United won the match by three points, but Yarraville successfully protested one of Port Melbourne's second quarter goals on the grounds of goal umpire error, and the match was reversed to a three-point Yarraville victory. Although they had the right to challenge, Railway United refused to play as its own act of protest, and was almost banned from the VJFA as a result.[1]
