The 2011 Tri Nations Series was the sixteenth annual Tri Nations rugby union series between the national rugby union teams of New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, respectively nicknamed the All Blacks, Wallabies and Springboks. It was also the last series in which only these three teams participated.

The 2011 Rugby World Cup was held in New Zealand between 9 September and 23 October 2011. As a result, the 2011 Tri Nations was shortened to include only six games instead of the usual nine. Each team played the other two countries twice rather than three times. Australia won the series for the first time in ten years.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2011/aug/27/australia-win-tri-nations|title=Australia clinch Tri Nations with victory over New Zealand|date=27 August 2011|work=The Guardian|accessdate=1 September 2011}}{{cite web|url=http://www.espnscrum.com/australia/rugby/story/147194.html|title=Wallabies clinch Tri-Nations crown|date=27 August 2011|work=ESPN Scrum |accessdate=1 September 2011}}{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/8722462/Australia-v-New-Zealand-match-report.html|title=Australia v New Zealand: match report|date=27 August 2011|work=telegraph.co.uk |accessdate=1 September 2011}}
