Season 2011–12 for Hibernian was their 13th consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League (SPL). The season began on 24 July with a 2–0 home defeat by Celtic, who eliminated Hibs from the Scottish League Cup. With the club near the bottom of the league, manager Colin Calderwood was sacked and replaced with Pat Fenlon in November. Fenlon made several signings during January that helped the club to avoid relegation from the SPL. Hibs also reached the 2012 Scottish Cup Final, but this was lost 5–1 to local rivals Hearts.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18044372 |work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|title=Hibernian 1–5 Hearts|date=19 May 2012|access-date=21 May 2012|first=Andy|last=Campbell}}

Hibs entered the 2011–12 Scottish Cup in the fourth round, with an away tie against Second Division leaders Cowdenbeath.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15835938.stm|title=Auchinleck Talbot face Hearts in Scottish Cup|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=22 November 2011|access-date=22 November 2011}}{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16425124.stm|title=Cowdenbeath aim to dump Hibs out of Scottish Cup|first=Brian|last=McLauchlin|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=5 January 2012|access-date=7 January 2011}} Hibs conceded the opening goal after just 19 seconds, but recovered to win 3–2.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16371630.stm|title= Cowdenbeath 2 - 3 Hibernian|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|first=Colin|last=Moffat|date=7 January 2012|access-date=7 January 2011}} In the fifth round, Hibs were drawn to play the winner of a replay between Dundee and Kilmarnock.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16474936.stm|title=Rangers face Scottish Cup test against Dundee United|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=9 January 2012|access-date=9 January 2012}} Kilmarnock won 2–1 in that replay and advanced to the fifth round tie against Hibs.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16481628.stm|title=Kilmarnock 2-1 Dundee |work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=17 January 2012|access-date=18 January 2012}} Hibs beat Kilmarnock 1–0 in the tie, with Irish striker Eoin Doyle scoring the only goal of the game.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16778768|title=Hibernian 1–0 Kilmarnock|first=Andy|last=Campbell|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=4 February 2012|access-date=4 February 2012}} This meant that Hibs progressed to the quarter-final, and were drawn against the winner of a postponed tie between First Division clubs Ayr United and Falkirk.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16906246|title=Dundee Utd drawn to face Scottish Cup holders Celtic|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=6 February 2012|access-date=6 February 2012}} Ayr won 2–1 against Falkirk to set up the tie against Hibs.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16940606|title=Ayr 2–1 Falkirk|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=15 February 2012|access-date=15 February 2012}}
Hibs progressed to the semi-finals, for the first time since 2007, with a 2–0 win at Somerset Park. The semi-final draw paired Hibs with Aberdeen, while league leaders Celtic were drawn against the winners of a replay between Hearts and St Mirren.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17334910|title=Celtic await winners of Scottish Cup replay in semi-finals|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=11 March 2012|access-date=11 March 2012}} A late goal by Leigh Griffiths gave Hibs a 2–1 victory against Aberdeen, and therefore a place in the 2012 Scottish Cup Final.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17643234|title=Aberdeen 1–2 Hibernian|first=Clive|last=Lindsay|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=14 April 2012|access-date=11 March 2012}} Hearts defeated Celtic in the second semi-final to set up a first Edinburgh derby in a Scottish Cup Final since 1896.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17649430|title=Celtic 1–2 Hearts|first=Clive|last=Lindsay|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=15 April 2012|access-date=15 April 2012}}
The final, however, ended in a 5–1 defeat for Hibs, extending their wait to win the Scottish Cup. Hibs went 2–0 down inside 30 minutes, but James McPake scored for Hibs just before half-time. The decisive moment came just after half-time, when referee Craig Thomson awarded a penalty kick to Hearts (which was converted) and sent off Pa Kujabi for a second yellow card. Hearts added two further goals in the second half to complete the scoring. Hibs manager Pat Fenlon apologised to the Hibs supporters for the lack of desire shown by their players.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18133772|title=Pat Fenlon says sorry to Hibs fans after Scottish Cup final defeat|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=19 May 2012|access-date=21 May 2012}} Former Hibs captain Murdo MacLeod described their display as inept and only absolved McPake from his criticism.{{cite news|url=http://blogs.dailyrecord.co.uk/murdomacleod/2012/05/shocker-from-my-old-team.html|title=Shocker from my old team|work=Daily Record|publisher=Trinity Mirror|first=Murdo|last=MacLeod|date=21 May 2012|access-date=21 May 2012}}

Transfers
Hibs announced on 29 April that 10 players would be released at the end of their contracts, including loan signing Darryl Duffy.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13242007.stm|title=Hibernian to release 10 players|work=BBC Sport|date=29 April 2011|access-date=17 May 2011}} The first two signings of the summer by Hibs were to bring back former heroes Ivan Sproule and Garry O'Connor. This move was questioned by former manager John Hughes, who asked whether they would show the sharpness necessary in their attacking positions.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13917136.stm|title=Garry O'Connor is Hibs gamble - John Hughes|work=BBC Sport|date=25 June 2011|access-date=25 June 2011}} After O'Connor scored a match-winning goal early in the season, however, The Scotsman football writer Stuart Bathgate questioned this logic.{{cite news|url=http://sport.scotsman.com/sport/Stuart-Bathgate-O39Connor-quickly-proving.6810842.jp|title=O'Connor quickly proving naysayers wrong|work=The Scotsman|publisher=Johnston Press|date=1 August 2011|access-date=3 August 2011}} After a week in which Hibs signed Isaiah Osbourne and Phil Airey, manager Colin Calderwood commented that he was still looking for more additions to the squad.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14510082.stm|title=Hibernian still in the hunt for new faces|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=12 August 2011|access-date=13 August 2011|first=Brian|last=McLauchlin}}
Calderwood was sacked in November 2011 and replaced by Bohemians manager Pat Fenlon, who returned to Ireland to make his first signing, Sligo Rovers striker Eoin Doyle. In January 2012, Hibs released Junior Agogo, Victor Pálsson and Matt Thornhill. Towards the end of January, Fenlon made several additions to the squad, mainly using the loan market. These signings, particularly central defender James McPake, helped Hibs to retain their position in the SPL and a placed in the 2012 Scottish Cup Final.{{cite news|url=http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/english/loan-stars-paid-off-well-for-hibs-1-2279857|title=Loan stars paid off well for Hibs |work=Edinburgh Evening News|publisher=Johnston Press|date=7 May 2012|access-date=11 May 2012}}
