The PSA World Series 2012 is a series of men's squash tournaments which are part of the Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Tour for the 2012 squash season. The PSA World Series tournaments are some of the most prestigious events on the men's tour. The best-performing players in the World Series events qualify for the annual 2012 PSA World Series Finals tournament. Amr Shabana won his second PSA World Series Squash Finals trophy, beating Nick Matthew in the final.
PSA World Series events also have a separate World Series ranking. Points for this are calculated on a cumulative basis after each World Series event. The top eight players at the end of the calendar year are then eligible to play in the PSA World Series Finals.
