# 12 Ore di Sebring 2011

L'edizione 2011 della 12 Ore di Sebring, corsa il 19 marzo sul circuito di Sebring, è stata la cinquantanovesima dell'evento. Essa è stata anche la prima gara delle stagioni 2011 di American Le Mans Series e Intercontinental Le Mans Cup.

Alla prima categoria appartengono la Peugeot 908, mentre reduci dalla stagione 2010 sono la Peugeot 908 HDi FAP e la Audi R15 TDI plus.
