The 2012–13 Toronto Maple Leafs season was the 96th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on November 22, 1917.[2] The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to a lockout.

Due to the abbreviated 48-game schedule, the Maple Leafs played only teams from their own Eastern Conference. Within their division, they played the Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabres four times each, and the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators five times each. The Maple Leafs played all non-divisional Eastern Conference opponents three times each.

Toronto qualified for the playoffs for the first time in nine years and the first time in eight seasons (as the 2004–05 season was not played due to the 2004–05 NHL lockout). The Leafs lost Game 7 in the first round against the Boston Bruins despite holding a 4–1 lead with 11 minutes to go in the third period, though Toronto had battled back from a 3-1 series deficit to be able to force the seventh game. The Leafs would not qualify for the playoffs again until the 2016–17 season.
