The 2011–12 season was Manchester City Football Club's 110th season of competitive football, 83rd season in the top flight of English football and 15th season in the Premier League.{{Cite news |title=History |url=http://www.statto.com/football/teams/manchester-city/history |publisher=Statto}} After finishing third in the league the previous season, the Blues qualified for the UEFA Champions League for only the second time in their history, and the first since 1968–69 when the tournament was known as the European Cup.
The season was filled with ups and downs, but in the end it would be forever remembered as the one that brought Manchester City the long-awaited league title after a 44-year wait. City's third English top tier title was clinched on the final day of the season, after the Blues defeated Queens Park Rangers 3–2, coming back from being down 1–2 with two stoppage-time goals just before the final whistle. The championship marked City's first English title since 1968,{{cite web|url=https://www.france24.com/en/20120513-football-england-manchester-city-win-first-premier-league-title-44-years-united-trophy|title=Man City win first Premier League title in 44 years|publisher=France 24|work=News Wires|date=13 May 2012}} as well as the first time the Premier League has been won by a club whose current spell in the top division began after the league commenced play. It was also the first and currently only Premier League title to be decided on goal difference, with City's title-clinching goal against QPR coming 15 seconds after the final whistle blew in city rivals Manchester United's 1–0 win at Sunderland, which would otherwise have brought the title to the side of Sir Alex Ferguson.

=Kit information=
Umbro supplied kits for Manchester City for the third season in a row.
- Home: The home kit for the 2011–12 season featured a striking "soundwave" graphic embedded on to the front of the shirt. The "soundwave" graphic took inspiration from the club's anthem, the Blue Moon, which was sung by fans on the match days. The shirt was combined with sky blue shorts for the first time since the 2006–07 season and with hooped socks.
- Away: The away strip saw a return to the red-and-black stripes, the traditional Manchester City away colours that were famously introduced by the club's former co-manager Malcolm Allison in the 1960s. The most notable element of the strip was the position of the stripes on the arms, which was designed so that if a player scored and held his arms out horizontally whilst celebrating, the stripes would match up with the stripes on the body. The kit was embellished with gold applications and completed with black shorts and socks.
- Third: Manchester City's navy away strip from the previous season was retained as a third kit and was worn with white shorts and socks in its only outing against Aston Villa.
- Keeper: Umbro made two new goalkeeper strips for the 2011–12 season. The first choice kit was based on the design of the outfield home strip and included the "soundwave" graphic, but in dark green with light green detailing. The second choice kit was dark grey with white detailing, whilst the yellow/black outfit introduced in 2009–10 was retained as an alternative for its third season with yellow socks.
