The 2011–12 Nashville Predators season was the club's 14th season in the National Hockey League (NHL).
On June 22, 2011, the Predators revealed a new team logo, secondary logo and wordmarks. The Predators new away jerseys were unveiled at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft and their new home jerseys were unveiled at an event on July 13.
In November 2011, it was announced that W. Brett Wilson had purchased a 5% interest in the Nashville Predators.
The Predators were involved in some controversy when it was announced that Alexander Radulov would make his return to the Predators after leaving for the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) in 2008. Radulov, still in his final year of his entry-level contract with the Predators, did not need to clear waivers to return to the Predators.
The Predators finished the season with the League's best power-play percentage, at 21.60% (54 for 250).
The Predators ended the 2011–12 regular season as the Western Conference's fourth seed. They defeated the fifth-seeded Detroit Red Wings in the first round series, 4–1. The Predators lost in the second round to the Phoenix Coyotes. During the series against the Coyotes, Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn were suspended by the team for being seen in a bar, breaking curfew.
