The 11th federal electoral district of Michoacán () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 11 such districts in the state of Michoacán.
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 fifth region.
Suspended in 1930, the 11th district was re-established by the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under the reforms, Michoacán's allocation rose from 9 to 13. The restored 11th district elected its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Vanessa López Carrillo of the Labour Party (PT).
