The 2012–13 UMKC Kangaroos men's basketball team represented the University of Missouri–Kansas City during the 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Kangaroos, led by sixth year head coach Matt Brown, played most of their home games on-campus at Swinney Recreation Center (with one game off-campus at Municipal Auditorium), in Kansas City, Missouri as a member of The Summit League.

They finished the season 8–24, 5–11 in The Summit League play to finish in a tie for seventh place. They were defeated in The Summit League tournament quarterfinal by North Dakota State University.

Following the conclusion of the schedule, the university terminated head coach Matt Brown. His overall record was 60–122, 29-73 in league play (four additional league and overall victories were vacated due to The Summit League sanctions, which would have left his final record at 64–122 (33–73)).

The season was UMKC's last as a member of The Summit League (for seven years; they would return in 2020) as they joined the Western Athletic Conference effective July, 2013.
