The 2012–13 East Superleague was the eleventh Superleague competition since the formation of the Scottish Junior Football Association, East Region in 2002. The season began on 1 September 2012. The winners of this competition gain direct entry to round one of the 2013–14 Scottish Cup.

There was no relegation this season as the Superleague expanded to 16 clubs in 2013–14.[1]

Linlithgow Rose won the title on 27 April 2013 and become the first club to win the East Superleague on three occasions and also becoming the first team to go the full season unbeaten in the league.[2][3]

Member clubs for the 2012–13 season

Sauchie Juniors and Broxburn Athletic were promoted from the East Premier League and replace Bathgate Thistle, who were relegated, and Forfar West End, who resigned from the 2011–12 competition in October 2011 after four matches.
