Authorities issued an appeal late last night, calling for anyone who had seen the youngster to get in touch immediately.
"The 12-year-old has been missing from Marina View Drive, in West Harbour, since 8pm," police said.
The youngster was described as having short hair and was last seen wearing a black hooded jumper, grey pants and white school uniform socks.
