The 11th Missouri Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War.

  1. ^ The organization which evolved into the 11th Missouri was originally known as the "1st Missouri Rifle Battalion". This unit was subsequently expanded into the 11th Missouri Volunteer Infantry, but the name "Missouri Rifles" continued in use in some organizational records though 1861. Belcher, p10
