The 2011 Birmingham, Alabama mayoral election was held on August 23, 2011, to elect the mayor of Birmingham, Alabama. In 2009, the City Council consolidated the mayoral and city council elections by moving the timing of mayoral elections. A legal challenge to the change was rejected by the Circuit Court, and ultimately by the Alabama Supreme Court. As a result, the winner of the 2011 mayoral election would only serve a two-year term.
Incumbent Mayor William A. Bell, who was first elected in a 2010 special election, ran for re-election. He faced little-known opponents, and won re-election in a landslide, receiving 89 percent of the vote.
