The 1911 VFL season was the 15th season of the Victorian Football League (VFL), the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in Victoria. The season featured ten clubs and ran from 29 April to 23 September, comprising an 18-match home-and-away season followed by a three-week finals series featuring the top four clubs. The season was the beginning of the league's professional era, with clubs permitted for the first time to pay players beyond the reimbursement of expenses.
Essendon won the premiership, defeating Collingwood by six points in the 1911 VFL grand final; it was Essendon's third VFL premiership. Essendon also won the minor premiership by finishing atop the home-and-away ladder with a 15–2–1 win–loss–draw record. Melbourne's Harry Brereton won the leading goalkicker medal as the league's leading goalkicker.
