The 2012–13 Hawaii Rainbow Warriors basketball team represented the University of Hawaii at Manoa during the 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Rainbow Warriors, led by third year head coach Gib Arnold, played their home games at the Stan Sheriff Center and were first year members of the Big West Conference. They finished the season 17–15, 10–8 in Big West play to finish in fifth place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the Big West Tournament to UC Irvine. They were invited to the 2013 CIT where they lost in the first round to Air Force.
The 2012–13 Rainbow Warrior roster was composed of players from eight different countries (Angola, Australia, Canada, Croatia, Germany, Latvia, New Zealand, and the United States).
In 2015, Hawaii announced it would vacate all wins from this and the 2013–14 season due to the participation of Isaac Fotu, who was ineligible due to improper benefits.
