Season 10 of the American competitive reality television series Hell's Kitchen premiered on Fox on June 4, 2012, and concluded on September 10, 2012. Gordon Ramsay returned as host and head chef, while Scott Leibfried and Andi Van Willigan returned as the Blue Team and Red Team's sous-chefs respectively. James Lukanik returned as maître d'.

The season was won by chef de cuisine Christina Wilson, with sous-chef Justin Antiorio finishing second.

The filming of Season 10 was done in June 2011.[1]

Fifth-place finisher Clemenza Caserta tied fourth-, sixth- and third-place finishers Autumn Lewis, Sabrina Brimhall and Elise Wims from seasons seven, eight and nine respectively, for the record of most nominations for elimination, at seven.

This season saw an alteration to the show's format, with many episodes now being two-parters, depicting the team challenge and reward/punishment one night, followed by service and elimination the following night. This is the first and only season to date where one challenge produced no winner and both teams faced the punishment. It is also the first and only season to date in which none of the contestants quit for personal or medical reasons, or were eliminated before or during dinner service.
