Cygnus NG-12 var en flygning av en av företaget Northrop Grummans Cygnus rymdfarkoster till Internationella rymdstationen (ISS). Farkosten sköts upp med en Antares 230 raket, från Wallops Flight Facility i Virginia, den 2 november 2019.

Farkosten kallas S.S. Alan Bean och är uppkallad efter den avlidne amerikanske astronauten Alan L. Bean.

Målet med flygningen är att leverera material och förnödenheter till ISS.

Den 4 november 2019 dockades farkosten med rymdstationen med hjälp av Canadarm2.[2]
