2012 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) – Women's 50 metre butterfly

The Women's 50 metre butterfly at the 2012 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) was a swimming event held as part of the short course championships. This event featured female swimmers competing in a single length (50 meters) of the pool using the butterfly stroke. The competition typically involved preliminary heats, semi-finals (if required based on the number of entrants), and a final where the top swimmers competed for medals. Times recorded are typically very fast due to the short course length, allowing for more turns and underwater dolphin kicks, which can be a significant advantage in sprint events. The event tests a swimmer's speed, power, and technique in the butterfly stroke. Medals are awarded to the top three finishers (gold for first place, silver for second, and bronze for third). Specific details such as the dates, times, and medalists can be found in the official results for the 2012 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m).
