The 2012 Vattenfall Cyclassics was the 17th running of the Vattenfall Cyclassics single-day cycling race. It was held, in and around Hamburg, Germany, on 19 August over a distance of 245.9 kilometres (152.8 miles) and was the twenty-third race of the 2012 UCI World Tour season.
In a mass sprint finish, the race was won by FDJ–BigMat rider Arnaud Démare,[1] who became the first French rider to take victory in the event. Démare finished ahead of Lotto–Belisol's André Greipel,[2] and RadioShack–Nissan's Giacomo Nizzolo, who completed the podium.[3][4]

The 20 teams that competed in the race were:[6]
