The 2011 Allsvenskan, part of the 2011 Swedish football season, was the 87th season of Allsvenskan since its establishment in 1924. The preliminary 2011 fixtures were released on 15 December 2010. The season began on 2 April 2011 and ended on 23 October 2011.Malmö FF were the defending champions, having won their 16th Swedish championship and their 19th Allsvenskan title the previous season.

Helsingborgs IF won the Swedish championship this season, their 7th one, in the 27th round, nearly a month before the final round on 25 September 2011 by Helsingborg defeating GAIS 3–1, and by Malmö FF playing a 1–1 tie against AIK who were the only championship competitors to Helsingborg. This was the second year in a row that a club from Skåne clinched the championship title. This was also Helsingborg's first Swedish championship of the 21st century, and the first time since 1996 that a team secured the Allsvenskan championship so early in the season.

A total of 16 teams contested the league; 14 returned from the 2010 season and two had been promoted from Superettan.

A total of sixteen teams contested the league, including fourteen sides from the 2010 season and two promoted teams from the 2010 Superettan.

Åtvidaberg and Brommapojkarna were relegated at the end of the 2010 season after finishing in the bottom two places of the table. Åtvidaberg thus made its immediate return to the Superettan, and Brommapojkarna ended a two-year tenure in the Allsvenskan. They were replaced by 2010 Superettan champions Syrianska FC and runners-up IFK Norrköping. Norrköping returned after a two-year absence, while Syrianska FC made their debut at the highest level of football in Sweden.
