Hälsinglands runinskrifter 12 is a runestone located outside Högs church in Högs parish and Hudiksvalls commune, Hälsingland.
The carving is from the 1000s after the birth of Christ and is carved with Hälsingian runes, which primarily used simplified forms as shorthand for more extensive records. The stone, which was previously built into the church, was freed and erected in 1951 at its current location.
The ornamentation is simple and consists of a rune band that transitions into a Christian cross. The inscription, translated from the runes, is as follows: 'Gudnjut Truson lät resa denna sten och gjorde bron efter sina bröder Åsbjörn och efter Gudlev.'
