The 2012 Clásica de San Sebastián was the 32nd edition of the Clásica de San Sebastián, a single-day cycling race.

The race was won for the second time in three years by Rabobank rider Luis León Sánchez after making a late-race attack on the descent from the Alto de Arkale.[1] Second place went to Orica–GreenEDGE's Simon Gerrans,[2] while Gianni Meersman rounded out the podium placings for Lotto–Belisol.[3][4]
