The 2011–12 Danish Superliga season was the 22nd season of the Danish Superliga, which decided the Danish football championship. The season began on 16 July 2011 (2011-07-16) with OB, the previous season's runners-up playing the cup winners FC Nordsjælland. It concluded on 25 May 2012 (2012-05-25) with six simultaneous matches. F.C. Copenhagen were the defending champions, having won their ninth league championship and third consecutively last season.

Since Denmark climbed from fifteenth to twelfth place in the UEFA association coefficient rankings at the end of the 2010–11 season, the 2011–12 league champions will now directly enter the group stage of the UEFA Champions League instead of having to compete in the qualifying rounds. The remaining allocation of European spots remains unchanged.

Randers and Esbjerg finished the 2010–11 season in 11th and 12th place, respectively, and were relegated to the 2011–12 1st Division. Randers were relegated after five seasons in the Superliga, while Esbjerg leave after 10 seasons in the league.

The relegated teams were replaced by 2010–11 1st Division champions AGF and runners-up HB Køge. Both clubs make their immediate return to the highest Danish football league.
