The 2011–12 Indiana Pacers season was Indiana's 45th season as a franchise and 36th season in the NBA. The Pacers finished the regular season with a 42–24 record and secured a spot in the 2012 NBA Playoffs as the 3rd best team in the Eastern Conference. After eliminating the Orlando Magic in the first round, Indiana lost in the East semifinals series against the Miami Heat in six games.
Due to the 2011 NBA lockout negotiations, the programmed pre-season schedule, along with the first two weeks of the regular season were scrapped, and a two-game pre-season was set for each team once the lockout concluded.

Many players signed with teams from other leagues due to the 2011 NBA lockout. FIBA allows players under NBA contracts to sign and play for teams from other leagues if the contracts have opt-out clauses that allow the players to return to the NBA if the lockout ends. The Chinese Basketball Association, however, only allows its clubs to sign foreign free agents who could play for at least the entire season.
