The 2012 Albany Great Danes football team represented the University at Albany, SUNY as a member of the Northeast Conference (NEC) during the 2012 NCAA Division I FCS football season. Led by 43rd-year head coach Bob Ford, the Great Danes compiled an overall record of 9–2 with a mark of 7–1 in conference play, sharing the NEC title with Wagner. Due to Albany's head-to-head loss to Wagner, the Seahawks eared the conference's automatic bid NCAA Division I Football Championship playoffs. The Great Danes did not receive an at-large bid.
