Citybus route 12A is a bus route on Hong Kong Island. Operated by Citybus, it is a loop route originating from Admiralty (Tamar Street), passing through Cotton Tree Drive, MacDonnell Road, Kennedy Road and Central before returning to Admiralty. The route was first operated by China Motor Bus from its introduction in 1961 until it was suspended in 1987. It was then reintroduced in 1991, when the government put the route up for tender which was won by Citybus, becoming its first franchised bus route.
