The 2012 Colorado Republican presidential caucuses took place on 7 February 2012. It was part of the 2012 Republican Party presidential primaries.

The Republican caucuses were held on "Republican Party Precinct Caucus Day" (February 7, 2012).^[1] Caucus locations opened on 9 PM, February 7, 2012,^[2] with 36 delegates at stake; 33 of which are tied to the caucuses while 3 are unpledged RNC delegates.^[3] The event occurred alongside the Minnesota Republican caucuses as well the Missouri Republican primary. The race was widely expected to be won by Mitt Romney even on the day of the caucus, but a strong surge by Rick Santorum across all three races that day carried him to a close victory. However, the delegates were not legally bound to follow voter preferences, and most voted for Romney.
