The 12-3 incident (Chinese: 一二·三事件; pinyin: Yīèr Sān shìjiàn) refers to a riot in Macau that happened on December 3, 1966, inspired by the Cultural Revolution in the People's Republic of China.

In 1966 residents tried to obtain a licence for a private school on Taipa Island. After being rejected many times they went ahead and started building without permits. On November 15, 1966, Portuguese police arrested the school officials and beat construction workers, residents, and press reporters. As a result Mao Zedong's supporters mobbed the Macau Governor’s house, while troops were called in to suppress them.

On December 3, the government ordered them to be arrested. This stirred up the anger of the general public and more people came to protest. They pulled down the statue of Colonel Vicente Nicolau de Mesquita at Largo do Senado at the city centre, and burned archive documents—some irreplaceable—at the Leal Senado building the Holy House of Mercy. Portuguese soldiers from Africa, who came to Macau on holiday, were called in and martial law was declared. As a result of the protests, 11 people were killed by police and 200 were injured. The incident is often referred to as "12-3," with reference to the date of the riots. The Portuguese authorities’ handling of the event was regarded as clumsy.
