The 2011 IIHF Women's World Championship was the 13th edition of the Top Division of the Women's Ice Hockey World Championship (the 14th edition overall, if the season when only the lower divisions were played is also counted), organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).

The Top Division tournament was held at Hallenstadion in Zürich and at Deutweg rink in Winterthur, Switzerland, from 16 to 25 April 2011.

The United States were the two-time defending champions and successfully defended their title, capturing their third straight gold medal by defeating Canada 3–2 in overtime on a goal by Hilary Knight. IIHF council member Monique Scheier-Schneider presided over the events.
