The KiHa 11 (キハ11形^?) is a single-car diesel multiple unit (DMU) train type operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) and Tokai Transport Service Company (TKJ) on driver-only operated rural services in central Japan. A total of 43 cars were built between 1989 and 1999, with the class divided into four sub-classes: KiHa 11-0, KiHa 11-100, KiHa 11-200, and KiHa 11-300.

The fleet build details are as follows.

Ten KiHa 11-0 cars (KiHa 11-1–10) were delivered to Ise Depot from Niigata Tekkō (now Niigata Transys) between January and February 1989.

KiHa 11-9 was withdrawn in 2007 due to accident damage.

KiHa 11-1, January 2010

Seating is arranged with 2+2 abreast transverse seating and longitudinal seating at the car ends. Seating capacity is 60, with a total capacity of 110 passengers. These cars are not equipped with toilets.

23 KiHa 11-100 cars (KiHa 11-101–123) were delivered from Niigata Tekkō (now Niigata Transys) between January and March 1989. Cars KiHa 11-122 and 123 were built at JR Central's Nagoya factory. Basically similar to the KiHa 11-0 design, these cars are designed for use in colder climate areas, and were initially all allocated to Mino-Ōta Depot, although six cars, 107–112, were transferred to Ise Depot in March 1990.

The KiHa 11-100 cars based at Mino-Ōta Depot are normally used on the Takayama Main Line and Taita Line.

Four KiHa 11-200 cars (KiHa 11-201–204) were built by Niigata Tekkō (now Niigata Transys) in 1993 for use on the Tōkai Transport Service Jōhoku Line. These cars are based on the KiHa 11-100 design, but without internal door steps. KiHa 11-203–204 were subsequently reallocated to JR Central's Mino-Ōta Depot and are used interchangeably with other JR Central KiHa 11s.
