The 2011–12 Los Angeles Clippers season is the 42nd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 34th season in Southern California, and their 28th season in Los Angeles. Following the 2011 NBA lockout each team only played 66 games instead of the usual 82. The Clippers finished 40-26, their best winning percentage in franchise history. They finished the season as the #5 seed in the Western Conference. In the playoffs, they lost to the San Antonio Spurs 0-4 in the Western Conference semi-finals.
Due to the 2011 NBA lockout negotiations, the programmed pre-season schedule, along with the first two weeks of the regular season were scraped, and a two-game pre-season was set for each team once the lockout concluded.
