Template:Infobox Commonwealth Youth Games Country Bangladesh competed in the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games held in the British Crown Dependency of Isle of Man from 7 to 13 September 2011. Their participation marked their second Commonwealth Youth Games appearance. The delegation of Bangladesh consisted of four officials and four competitors (two men and two women) participating in three different sports— athletics, boxing and swimming. This was a decrease in the number of athletes from the nation's last appearance at the Games, when ten athletes were sent to the 2008 Commonwealth Youth Games in Pune. None of the athletes won any medals. Sarkar ranked sixth overall in the semifinal round for 100m Women race; bantamweight boxer, Hossen, lost to Obedy Mutapa of Zambia in the Quarter-Final, after receiving a bye. Additionally, Akter ranked 22nd, 19th and DNS in the heat rounds of 50 m backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke events respectively, and Islam 12th and 14th in the heat rounds of 50 m and 100 m butterfly events respectively.
