The Symphony No. 12 in E major (Hoboken I/12) is a symphony by Joseph Haydn. The symphony was composed in 1763.

It is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo. The symphony is homotonal and in three movements:

  1. Allegro, 2/2
  2. Adagio, 6/8 in E minor
  3. Presto, 2/4

The second movement is in "siciliano", or rocking rhythm, similar to the pastoral slow movements of Symphonies 27 and B.
