2011 Portsmouth City Council election
The 2011 Portsmouth City Council election took place on Thursday 5 May 2011 to elect members of Portsmouth City Council in Hampshire, England. The election took place on the same day as a referendum on the parliamentary voting system, and one third of the council (14 seats) was up for election using the first-past-the-post voting system. The Liberal Democrats won a majority of the seats being contested, and remained in overall control of the council.

After the election, the composition of the council was:
 Liberal Democrats: 23
 Conservatives: 17
 Labour: 2
