The 2012 First Year Player Draft is the forty-eighth Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. It is scheduled to take place from June 4-6, 2012.

The rules governing the draft were altered as the result of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement reached the previous off-season. Among the changes, teams now have a set pool of money from which to pay all signing bonuses to players drafted in the first 10 rounds, with teams higher in the drafting order receiving more money from the pool; bonuses for players dfrafted later are capped at $100,000. Also, the deadline for signing players was moved up from August 15th to July 13th.
