The 2011 Football League Two play-off final was a football match contested by Stevenage and Torquay United on 28 May 2011 at Old Trafford in Manchester to decide the fourth team to be promoted from League Two to League One for the 2011–12 season.
Under League Two play-off rules, the final is contested by the two teams which secured an aggregate victory over two-legged semi-finals, with the team that finished seventh in the league table (Torquay United) having played fourth (Shrewsbury Town), and sixth (Stevenage) having played fifth (Accrington Stanley).
The format of the match was 90 minutes of normal playing time, with an additional 30 minutes of extra-time if the score was tied. A penalty shootout would determine the winner if the score remains tied at the end of extra-time. Each team was permitted to make three substitutions from seven named substitutes during the course of the match.
Stevenage won the final by a scoreline of 1–0, John Mousinho scoring the only goal of the game on 41 minutes.
Due to the UEFA Champions League 2011 final being held at Wembley Stadium on 28 May 2011, it appeared that the three Football League play-off finals may have to be played at a different venue for the first time since 2007 due to the double-booking of Wembley.
