The 1911 Grand Prix season consisted of Grand Prix races in the United States and Europe. The first Indianapolis 500 was held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the American Grand Prize was again held in Savannah.

The Automobile Club de la Sarthe organized the Grand Prix de France of 1911.[1] This race is not considered to be part of the lineage of French Grands Prix, as it was a separate event from the official French Grand Prix, the Grand Prix de l'ACF, organized by the Automobile Club de France from 1906 onwards.
