The award came after a year in which the Barcelona player scored a record-breaking 91 goals for club and country.
Real
Madrid and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo was second in the 2012
FIFA Ballon d'Or award and Messi's Barcelona team mate Andres Iniesta
was third.
Messi was voted FIFA Player of the Year in 2009 before
picking up the new-look award in 2010 and 2011 after it was fused with
the Ballon d'Or award previously handed out by France Football magazine.
