Roger Federer defeated Novak Djokovic in the final, 6–0, 7–6 ^(9–7) to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2012 Cincinnati Masters. It was his record fifth Cincinnati Masters title, and the first time that a player won an ATP Tour Masters 1000 event without having his serve broken or losing a set. Federer would repeat this accomplishment at the 2015 event. It was Djokovic's fourth runner-up finish at the tournament.

Andy Murray was the defending champion, but lost in the third round to Jérémy Chardy.

The top eight seeds receive a bye into the second round.
