The 2012–13 Hertha BSC season was the 120th season in club history. Hertha BSC lost to Fortuna Düsseldorf in the Promotion/Relegation Playoff. The sports court and the Federal Court of the German Football Association (DFB) confirmed the club's relegation after the club appealed the result of the second leg, losing both appeals.

Defender Levan Kobiashvili was suspended for the remainder of the 2012 calendar year, whilst goalkeeper Thomas Kraft was suspended for five matches for their role in an altercation with the referee during the Promotion/Relegation playoff against Fortuna Düsseldorf. Christian Lell and Andre Mijatović were also suspended for their participation in the altercation. But both were eventually released from the club.
