2012 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles

Roger Federer defeated Andy Murray in the final, 4–6, 7–5, 6–3, 6–4 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2012 Wimbledon Championships. It was his seventh Wimbledon title and 17th major title overall. With the win, Federer also regained the world No. 1 singles ranking. Federer equalled both William Renshaw and Pete Sampras' all-time record of seven Wimbledon titles, as well as Sampras' record of 286 weeks as world No. 1. This was the first major final since the 2010 Australian Open not to feature Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal, a span of nine events (incidentally, the 2010 Australian Open final also pitted Federer against Murray).

Djokovic was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Federer.

Murray became the first British man to reach the final since Bunny Austin in 1938. The championships was also notable for one of the biggest upsets in recent years, when world No. 100 Lukáš Rosol beat world No. 2 and two-time Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal in the second round, ending Nadal's streak of 11 major quarterfinals and of five (non-consecutive) Wimbledon finals. The loss also marked the end of Nadal's season, as he did not play tennis again until February 2013.

This marked the last major appearances for 2002 finalist and former world No. 3 David Nalbandian, 2003 French Open champion and former world No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero, former top 15 player Juan Ignacio Chela, and the last Wimbledon appearance for three-time finalist and former world No. 1 Andy Roddick.
