The 11th federal electoral district of Veracruz () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 19 such districts in the state of Veracruz.
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the third region.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Roberto Ramos Alor of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).
District territory Veracruz lost a congressional district in the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections.

The head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the port city of Coatzacoalcos. The district reported a population of 416,647 in the 2020 census.

Because of shifting demographics, Veracruz currently has four fewer districts than the 23 the state was allocated under the 1977 electoral reforms.
2017–2022 Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 11th district still had its head town at Coatzacoalcos but comprised only four of the five 2022–2030 municipalities: Nanchital was assigned to the 20th district.
2005–2017 Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process.

1978–1996 The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Veracruz's seat allocation rose from 15 to 23. The 11th district had its head town at Veracruz and it covered a part of that city.
