The men's long jump at the 2012 IAAF World Indoor Championships was held 9-10 March 2012 at the Ataköy Athletics Arena.

Mauro Vinícius da Silva celebrating his win.

Because the two leaders were tied for first place with jumps of 8.23 metres, they were split based on their second-best jumps which differed by 6 cm. This was the first time this had happened in the men's long jump at these championships. It would happen again twelve years later at the 2024 championships.
