English cricket team in India in 2012–13

The England cricket team toured India from 30 October 2012 to 27 January 2013. The tour consisted of four Test matches, five One Day Internationals and two Twenty20 International matches. A three-day training camp was held from 26 to 28 October at the International Cricket Council Global Cricket Academy in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, before the tour. The England team returned to the United Kingdom after the Twenty20 series and returned in the new year for the One Day International series. During the intervening period, India hosted Pakistan for two T20Is and three ODIs. At the conclusion of the tour, the English team travelled to New Zealand.

England's 2–1 Test series win was their first series victory in India since the 1984–85 tour. The former England captain Michael Vaughan said that the series victory was bigger than the 2010–11 Ashes series victory in Australia. He said of Alastair Cook that "he has led England to probably their biggest achievement in many, many years".

As of January 2024, this series was also the last time that India lost a test match series at home.

On 23 December 2012, Sachin Tendulkar announced his retirement from ODI cricket.
