The 2011 LPGA Championship was the 57th LPGA Championship, held June 23-26 at Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford, New York, a suburb southeast of Rochester.

This was the second of four consecutive years the LPGA Championship was played at Locust Hill.

The champion was Yani Tseng, age 22, with a 269 (–19) to win by ten strokes over Morgan Pressel. It was Tseng's second LPGA Championship victory (2008) and fourth major championship.
