The 2010–11 season was the 105th season in Atlético Madrid's history and their 74th season in La Liga, the top division of Spanish football. It covers a period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011.

Atlético Madrid competed for their tenth La Liga title and participated in the UEFA Europa League as holders, entering in the Group stage due to their seventh-place finish in the 2010–11 La Liga. They also entered the Copa del Rey in the quarter-finals, where they were eliminated by eventual winners Real Madrid.

This season was the first since 2003–04 without Pablo Ibáñez who departed for English club West Bromwich Albion.
