Fencing at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Qualification
 | This section tabulates the heads of qualification in a form suitable to be filled in as events progress. The full qualification rules[1] for fencing published by FIE contain intricate conditions too lengthy for inclusion in Wikipedia. |  |
Qualification will be primarily based on the FIE Official Ranking as of April 2, 2012, with further individual places available at 4 zonal qualifying tournaments. Teams will be composed of 3 fencers. For teams to qualify they must be ranked in the top 16, if a continent is not ranked in the top 16 the next best placed country will take their spot.[2]
