Michigan's 11th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 11th district was created by the 1850 Michigan Constitution, as the 1835 constitution only permitted a maximum of eight senate districts. It has been represented by Democrat Veronica Klinefelt since 2023, succeeding fellow Democrat Jeremy Moss.
Geography District 11 encompasses parts of Macomb and Wayne counties.
