The 2011–12 season of the Bayernliga, the highest association football league in Bavaria, was the fourth season of the league at tier five (V) of the German football league system and the 67th season overall since establishment of the league in 1945. The regular season started on 22 July 2011 and finished after 34 rounds on 19 May 2012, followed by relegation play-off games in early June. It was the last season of the league operating in a single-division format, from 2012 it will be split into a northern and a southern division, a system last in place in the 1962–63 season.

The league season was interrupted by a three-month winter break, which lasted from 27 November 2011 to 2 March 2012. It was won by TSV 1860 Rosenheim, which clinched the title in the 33rd round of the season with a 3–0 home win over SV Seligenporten. It was the first time that the club from Rosenheim won the title. Apart from Rosenheim nine other clubs from the league earned promotion to the new Fußball-Regionalliga Bayern, while no club was relegated. This was because of the introduction of the Regionalliga Bayern as the new fourth tier above the Bayernliga from 2012 and the expansion to two regional divisions. Instead, the top nine clubs gained entry to the new Regionalliga while the next six had the opportunity to also qualify for this league, having to play a promotion round with the best teams of the Landesligas. The bottom three teams in the league automatically remained at this level.

Two of the leagues clubs made negative headlines when they encountered financial trouble. FSV Erlangen-Bruck averted insolvency in December 2011, caused by outstanding social security payments and wages, when it had to take up a €220,000 credit. The club announced that it would have to cut the budget of the football department. The TSV Aindling, club officials and current and former players were raided by the German customs department in December 2011. The club is thought to have knowingly withheld social security payments. A third club, TSV Gersthofen, announced a deficit of €200,000 for its football department, with the main club providing a 10-year repayable loan to cover for it. Aindling and Gersthofen consequently decided not to apply for a Regionalliga licence.
