The 2011 season of the Meistriliiga, the first level in the Estonian football system, was the 21st season in the league's history. It started on 5 March 2011 and ended in November 2011. The defending champions were Flora, who won their eighth league championship the previous year.
Lootus finished in 10th and last place in the league last year and were directly relegated to the Esiliiga as a result, ending a one-year stay in the Estonian top flight. Taking their place were Lasnamäe Ajax, who finished third in the Esiliiga and first among promotion-eligible clubs. They returned to the top flight after a three-year absence.
FC Flora Tallinn and their feeder club JK Viljandi Tulevik terminated the link as Tulevik decided to continue with their own players in II Liiga. FC Viljandi was created to ensure top level football would remain in the city of Viljandi.
In addition, the 9th place Meistriliiga club, Kuressaare, faced the 4th place Esiliiga club, Tamme Auto in a two-legged playoff for a place in the competition. Kuressaare won the playoff, 4–2 on aggregate, and thus retained their place in the league.
