The 2012–13 USHL season is the 34th season of the United States Hockey League as an all-junior league. The regular season began on September 28, 2012, and concluded on April 13, 2013,[1] with the regular season champion winning the Anderson Cup.

The playoffs began on April 16, 2013, and completed on May 17, 2013.[2] The top four teams from each conference competed for the Clark Cup, with all series played in a best-of-five format.[3]

This season was the 21st season in which one team captured both the Anderson Cup and the Clark Cup in the same season. It was the first time the Dubuque Fighting Saints accomplished this feat.
