The 11th federal electoral district of Michoacán (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 11 de Michoacán) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 11 such districts in the state of Michoacán.

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fifth region.

Suspended in 1930, the 11th district was re-established by the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under the reforms, Michoacán's allocation rose from 9 to 13. The restored 11th district elected its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Vanessa López Carrillo of the Labour Party (PT).

Michoacán lost its 12th district in the 2023 districting process carried out by the National Electoral Institute (INE). Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the 11th district covers 298 precincts (secciones electorales) across 15 municipalities in the centre and south-east of the state:

• Acuitzio, Carácuaro, Erongarícuaro, Huetamo, Huiramba, Lagunillas, Madero, Nocupétaro, Pátzcuaro, San Lucas, Salvador Escalante, Tacámbaro, Tiquicheo, Turicato and Tzintzuntzan.

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Pátzcuaro. The district reported a population of 421,950 in the 2020 Census.

Between 2017 and 2022, the district's head town was at Pátzcuaro but its composition was different. It covered 14 municipalities, with some overlaps with the 2022 scheme: Acuitzio, Ario, Huiramba, Lagunillas, Madero, Nocupétaro, Pátzcuaro, Salvador Escalante, Tacámbaro, Taretan, Tingambato, Turicato, Tzintzuntzan and Ziracuaretiro.

1978–1996

The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under the reforms, Michoacán's allocation rose from 9 to 13. The 11th district's head town was the city of Jiquilpan in the west of the state and it was composed of 13 municipalities.
