The 2012–13 BYU Cougars women's basketball team represented Brigham Young University in the 2012–13 college basketball season. It was head coach Jeff Judkins twelfth season at BYU. The Cougars, members of the West Coast Conference, played their home games at the Marriott Center. They finished the season 23–11, 11–5 in conference play, to finish tied for 3rd in the conference. The Cougars advanced to the second round of the 2013 Women's National Invitation Tournament, where they lost to conference foe Saint Mary's. In an unusual event, the leader at Halftime of all 3 BYU/ Saint Mary's meetings would go on to lose the match.

Redshirt News

The Cougars were bolstered by the news that Haley Steed would be granted a sixth year of eligibility after she missed out on two previous seasons from injuries. Steed missed out on her 2009-2010 season after playing only the season opening game against Portland State and then was given a medical redshirt during the 2010-11 season.

The good news for the Cougars is Jennifer Hamson returned to the BYU women's basketball team during the Utah game after the volleyball teams season ended with a Sweet Sixteen loss.
