The 12th federal electoral district of Michoacán (es Distrito electoral federal 12 de Michoacán) is a defunct federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Michoacán.
During its existence, the 12th district returned one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. From 1979 onwards, votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.How Mexico Elects Its Leaders – The Rules https://mexicosolidarityproject.org/voices/172/ Mexico Solidarity Project 30 August 2024 31 January 2024Circunscripciones https://ayuda.ine.mx/2021/informate/assets/docs/Elecciones/Circunscripciones.pdf Ayuda 2021 INE 30 August 2024

The restored 12th district was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election and it elected its final deputy in the 2021 mid-terms. It was dissolved by the National Electoral Institute (INE) in its 2023 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted 12 districts.Memoria de la Distritación Nacional 2021–2023 https://cartografia.ife.org.mx/documentacion/memoria-de-la-distritacion-nacional21_23.pdf INE 112 30 August 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20240528223340/https://cartografia.ife.org.mx/documentacion/memoria-de-la-distritacion-nacional21_23.pdf 28 May 2024

The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under the reforms, Michoacán's allocation rose from 9 to 13.González Casanova Pablo Pablo González Casanova Las Elecciones en México: evolución y perspectivas 1993 Siglo XXI 9789682313219 3 219 https://books.google.com/books?id=50GTKb1K9jcC 30 August 2024 The 12th district's head town was at Los Reyes and it comprised 11 municipalities:División del territorio de la República en 300 distritos electorales uninominales para elecciones federales: Michoacán https://www.dof.gob.mx/nota_to_imagen_fs.php?cod_diario=202824&pagina=30&seccion=0 Diario Oficial de la Federación 30 August 2024 30 29 May 1978
