The 2012 Copa Libertadores Femenina was the fourth edition of the Copa Libertadores Femenina, CONMEBOL's premier annual international women's football club tournament. São José were the defending champions.[1]

On 28 September 2012 it was confirmed that all matches were to be played in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil.[2]

Colo Colo won the title after a penalty shootout in the final, and became the first non-Brazilian team to win the tournament. The top-scorer award was given to Cristiane for a second time and the best player award was won by Karen Araya from Colo Colo.[3]
