The Copa del Rey 1911 was the 10th staging of the Copa del Rey, the Spanish football cup competition. It started on 9 April 1911, and concluded on 15 April 1911, with the final, held at the Josaleta Stadium in Getxo, in which Athletic Bilbao lifted the trophy for the 5th time ever with a 3–1 victory over CD Español.[1][2]

The 1911 edition was characterized as being one of the most turbulent in the history of the tournament following a complaint for improper alignment against the host team of the tournament, Athletic Club. This complaint was unsuccessful, but ended up causing incidents, angry protests from other teams and the withdrawal of several of them; which prevented a normal development of the tournament.[2] Athletic Club played the tournament with up to five players from Club Atlético de Madrid, which at that time was a branch of the Bilbao team.
