The 2011 Chicago Sky season was the franchise's 6th season in the Women's National Basketball Association, and their first season under head coach Pokey Chatman. Sky center Sylvia Fowles finished the season as only the second player in WNBA history to average at least 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. Chatman was named the head coach and general manager, after Steven Key resigned following the 2010 season.
