The 2011 CAF Champions League Final was the final of the 2011 CAF Champions League, the 47th edition of Africa's premier club football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), and the 15th edition under the current CAF Champions League format.

The final was played between Wydad AC from Morocco and Espérance ST from Tunisia.[1][2] After a goal-less first leg,[3] Espérance ST won the second leg 1–0 to win their second African title (the first being the 1994 African Cup of Champions Clubs).[4] The win saw Espérance ST complete the Treble, and as a result, Espérance ST qualified to enter the quarterfinals of the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup as the CAF representative, as well as participate in the 2012 CAF Super Cup against the winner of the 2011 CAF Confederation Cup.
