The 2012 Houston Astros season was the 51st season for the Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise located in Houston, Texas, their 48th as the Astros, 51st in the National League (NL), 19th in the NL Central division, and 13th at Minute Maid Park, The Astros entered the season as having finished in last place in the NL Central with 56–106 record and 37+1⁄2 games behind, the first time in franchise history they had lost at least 100 games.

The 2012 season was the Astros' final season as members of the National League. Per the approval of the sale of the team from Drayton McLane to Jim Crane by the league, the Astros agreed to move to the American League (AL), and to be situated in the American League West division, effective the following year.[1] It was also the first season with Jeff Luhnow serving as general manager.

Second baseman Jose Altuve was selected to the MLB All-Star Game for the first time in his career, and played for the National League. In the first round of the June MLB draft, the Astros chose shortstop Carlos Correa as the first overall pick, and pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. at no. 41.

On August 18, manager Brad Mills was relieved of his duties and Tony DeFrancesco served in his place as interim manager. The Astros concluded the season in last place in the NL Central with a 55–107 record, 42 games out of first place. At the time, it established a new worst-record in franchise history, breaking the record set the season before, while being just the second year in which Houston had lost 100 or more games.
