The Tatra 12 is an automobile produced by Czech manufacturer Tatra between 1926 and 1933.^{[citation needed]} It was replaced by the Tatra 57 in 1932.

At the beginning of the 1920s, Czech car manufacturers were focusing on producing large and expensive cars which only the rich could afford. Some companies began to introduce less expensive designs, intending them to be affordable for the middle class. Tatra entered this market with the Tatra 11, to which the Tatra 12 was the successor.^{[citation needed]}
