The Williams FW12 was a Formula One racing car used by the Williams team for the 1988 season, with an updated FW12C used for 12 of the 16 races of 1989. It was Williams's first naturally aspirated car since the FW08 and FW08C of 1982 and 1983, and in its original form it featured a Judd CV 3.5 V8. After two years of domination with its predecessors, the FW11 and FW11B, which used the Honda turbocharged V6, the 1988 season was unsuccessful for the team. Williams chose to continue with the FW12C in 1989 while it got its successor, the FW13, right before racing it. The last Formula One race for the car came at the Spanish Grand Prix, where Riccardo Patrese qualified sixth and finished fifth in an FW12C.
