Had a near miss with a drone while on final into MSP.  On the Date about XA30 we were on final to runway 12L at MSP and I noticed something fly past the left side of the aircraft.  I did not see it clearing and asked if anyone else on the flight deck saw that.  We had a airline pilot in the jump seat and he stated that he saw it and it was definitely a drone.  We were on the visual for 12L at MSP at about 2;800 feet just inside WASHY (the final approach fix); just left (north) of the final approach course.  The drone was fairly large and yellow.  I did not see the exact configuration as it passed by so quickly.  The drone went passed us on the left side of the aircraft from nose to tail.  I did complete a post flight walk around to verify we did not hit it and found no indication of any kind of impact on the aircraft.Drone operating at altitude and in airspace not authorized.
