This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Reversible Computation, RC 2020, held in Oslo, Norway, in July 2020. The 17 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: theory and foundation; programming languages; circuit synthesis; evaluation of circuit synthesis; and applications and implementations.
