The 2012–13 Connecticut Huskies women's basketball team represented the University of Connecticut in the 2012–13 NCAA Division I basketball season. The Huskies, coached by Geno Auriemma, played their home games at two different venues—the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, and on campus at the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut. Connecticut was a member of the Big East Conference in the league's final season before its split along football lines into the football-sponsoring American Athletic Conference (The American) and the new, non-football Big East. Connecticut, as an FBS football school, became a member of The American, which retained the charter of the original Big East.

The Huskies won their 30th game of the season on March 23, 2013, representing the eighth consecutive year the team has won thirty or more games. This consecutive streak of eight seasons is the longest in NCAA history for basketball.

Connecticut's season ended with a win in the championship game of the NCAA tournament, giving the Huskies and Auriemma their eighth title overall. Per tradition, the team was invited to the White House for a meeting with the President. In his remarks, President Obama described the team as "one of the great sports dynasties of our time."
