The Torneo Gran Alternativa (2011) was a professional wrestling tournament event held by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) that took place from March 25 until April 8, 2011 over the course of three CMLL Super Viernes shows. The Torneo Gran Alternativa (Spanish for "the Great Alternative tournament) concept sees a Novato or rookie team up with an experienced wrestler for a tag team tournament. The rookie winner is often elevated up the ranks of CMLL as a result of winning the tournament, but there is no specific "prize" awarded for winning the tournament beyond a symbolic trophy.
The tournament was won by rookie Escorpión and veteran Último Guerrero as they defeated rookie Metal Blanco and veteran Máscara Dorada in the finals. Following the victory Escorpión took the ring name Rey Escorpión ("Scorpion King") and became a member of Último Guerrero's Los Guerreros del Infierno faction in CMLL.
