The 2010–11 Superleague Greece was the 52nd season of the highest football league of Greece and the fifth under the name Superleague. The league consisted of 16 teams, the 13 best teams of the 2009–10 season and three teams that had been promoted from the 2009–10 Beta Ethniki.

The season began on 27 August 2010 with the first matches of the regular season and ended on 25 May 2011 with the last matches of the European playoff round.Panathinaikos were the defending champions, having won their 20th Greek championship in the 2009–10 season.

The season was marred by Koriopolis, a match-fixing scandal which involved several teams from the top three leagues of Greek football.

The league was won by Olympiacos, who earned their 38th Greek league title. They finished with a 13-point lead over runners-up Panathinaikos, who had to compete in a play-off round which determined the exact allocation of spots for both European competitions.

Panathinaikos was joined in the play-offs by third-placed club and city rivals AEK Athens, fourth-placed PAOK and fifth-placed Olympiakos Volou. Panathinaikos eventually won the play-off group and thus earned the second Greek spot in the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League. Since AEK had already won the 2010–11 Greek Cup competition a few weeks earlier and thus were already qualified for the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League, both PAOK and Olympiakos Volos were guaranteed a spot in that competition as well.

After thirty matches, the relegation spots were occupied by 14th-placed Asteras Tripolis, 15th-placed Larissa and last-placed Panserraikos. However, all three clubs eventually stayed in the league after Iraklis, Kavala and Olympiakos Volou were demoted by separate sports court decisions.
