The 2011 Porsche Carrera Cup Asia was the ninth season of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia. The season commenced on March 21 at the Shanghai International Circuit and finished at the same circuit on November 8. This season saw the largest number of entries with a bumper field of 26 drivers for the first round in Shanghai.

The season was largely dominated by Swiss driver Alexandre Imperatori, who won eight out of the twelve races. However, after having to miss the fifth round in Singapore, it allowed Keita Sawa and Rodolfo Ávila to usurp him in the points standings. In a closely-fought final round in Shanghai, Sawa took the championship by one point over Ávila. The B Class championship was won by Wang Jian Wei who finished a very credible fifth place overall.
