2011–12 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino

The 2011–12 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino (Spanish for: 2011-12 Women's Senior National Volleyball League) or 2011-12 LNSVF is the 8th official season of the Peruvian Volleyball League. Deportivo Géminis won the league championship and qualified to the Women's South American Volleyball Club Championship but refused its participation.

Because of preparation of some of the players for the London Olympics, this season will not have an "Apertura and Clausura" format, instead it will only have one tournament with two round-robyn rounds. The 2011-12 season started on November 16, 2011 was expected to conclude in April 2012.

The first round is a Round-Robyn system where all 12 teams will play once against the other 11, due to preparation of some of the players for the London Olympics, and because the league couldn't get 14 first division teams to sign, this round will serve as the Apertura round.
