2012–13 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round

The 2012–13 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round was played on 11, 13 and 16 August 2012. A total of 32 teams competed in the qualifying round to decide 10 of the 32 places in the knockout phase of the 2012–13 UEFA Women's Champions League

32 teams entered in the qualifying round, and were divided into eight groups of four teams, with one team from each seeding pot. The group-winners and best two runners-up qualify for the round of 32.:

The eight hosts were confirmed by UEFA before the draw, and two hosts could not be placed in the same group. Each team played the other teams in the group once. The matches were played between 11 and 16 August 2012. The draw was held on 28 June 2012.

As usual in UEFA competitions, three points are awarded for a win, and one point for a draw. If teams are equal on points after all matches have been played, the following criteria applies:

1. Higher number of points obtained in the matches among the teams in question.
2. Superior goal difference resulting from the matches among the teams in question.
3. Higher number of goals scored in the matches among the teams in question.
4. Superior goal difference in all group matches
5. Higher number of goals scored in all group matches
6. Higher number of club coefficient points
7. Drawing of lots

Criteria 1–3 are reapplied until the tie cannot be resolved; only then is criteria 4 used.

Apollon's 21–0 victory over Ada set a new competition record.

The two best runners-up also qualify for the round of 32. The match against the fourth-placed team in the group does not count for the purposes of the runners-up table. The tie-breakers in this ranking are:

1. Higher number of points obtained
2. Superior goal difference
3. Higher number of goals scored
4. Higher number of club coefficient points
5. Fair play conduct in all group matches
