2012 European Athletics Championships – Women's 1500 metres

The women's 1500 metres at the 2012 European Athletics Championships were held at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium on 30 June and 1 July.

On 25 February 2016, the IAAF announced, that Mischenko, the silver medal winner, had been banned from competition for two years until 17 August 2017, and all her results since June 28, 2012 will be voided. This resulted from irregularities in her biological passport. If confirmed, this will strip Mishchenko of the silver medal won in this event. After the disqualification of the 4 firsts, the Spanish Fernández is the winner of the race.
