The 2011 FIRS Men's Roller Hockey World Cup was the 40th edition of the FIRS Roller Hockey World Cup. It was held in September 2011 in San Juan, Argentina. This was the fifth FIRS Roller Hockey World Cup organized in the province of San Juan.

It was initially announced that the tournament was to be held in Maputo, Mozambique and the city of San Juan, Argentina was designated the alternative host city. In July, 2010 the FIRS declared that San Juan, Argentina would take the place of Maputo as host city for the tournament.

One year before the World Cup, the B World Championship was disputed in Dornbirn, Austria, where three teams were qualified.
