The 2011 Allsvenskan, part of the 2011 Swedish football season, was the 87th season of Allsvenskan since its establishment in 1924. The preliminary 2011 fixtures were released on 15 December 2010.[4] The season began on 2 April 2011 and ended on 23 October 2011.[1] Malmö FF were the defending champions, having won their 16th Swedish championship and their 19th Allsvenskan title the previous season.[5]

Helsingborgs IF won the Swedish championship this season, their 7th one, in the 27th round, nearly a month before the final round, on 25 September 2011 by Helsingborg defeating GAIS 3–1 and AIK playing a 1–1 tie against Malmö FF. This was the second year in a row that a club from Scania clinched the championship title. This was also Helsingborg's first Swedish championship of the third millennium, and the first time since 1996 that a team secured the Allsvenskan championship so early in the season.[6][7]

A total of 16 teams contested the league; 14 returned from the 2010 season and two had been promoted from Superettan.
