The 2012 Farmers Classic, presented by Mercedes-Benz, was a men's tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts in Los Angeles. It was the 86th edition of the Los Angeles Open, and was part of the Emirates Airline US Open Series of the 2012 ATP World Tour. It took place at the Los Angeles Tennis Center on the campus of UCLA, from July 23 through July 29, 2012, with total player compensation in excess of $1 million. The events were televised by ESPN2 and the Tennis Channel.

Defending champion, second-seeded Sam Querrey, who grew up in nearby Thousand Oaks, defeated Ričardas Berankis for his third Los Angeles title in four years on July 29, 2012.[3][4] Xavier Malisse teamed up with Ruben Bemelmans this year to win the doubles championship.[5] Querrey would also join fellow Americans, Andre Agassi and Jimmy Connors as the only three men to win 3 or more titles in the Open Era. The 2012 tournament marked the last time an ATP World Tour tournament would be held in Los Angeles.[6][7]
