The 2012 Atlantic 10 Conference men's soccer season was the 26th season for the Conference fielding men's NCAA Division I men's college soccer. Interconference play began on October 5, and continued through November 4. The season culminated with the 2012 Atlantic 10 Men's Soccer Tournament, where the top schools in the conference competed for a guaranteed berth into the 2012 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship.

The defending regular season champions were the national finalists, Charlotte. The defending tournament winners were Xavier.

This was the last men's soccer season for Richmond, which dropped the sport (along with men's track) after announcing it would add men's lacrosse in the near future.[1]
