The 2011 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships were the 73rd annual NCAA Men's Division I Cross Country Championship and the 31st annual NCAA Women's Division I Cross Country Championship to determine the team and individual national champions of NCAA Division I men's and women's collegiate cross country running in the United States. In all, four different titles were contested: men's and women's individual and team championships.[1][2]

Held on November 21, 2011, the combined meet was the eighth of eight consecutive meets hosted by Indiana State University at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Indiana. The distance for the men's race was 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) while the distance for the women's race was 6 kilometers (3.73 miles).

The men's team championship was won by Wisconsin (97 points), the Badgers' fifth overall and first since 2005. The women's team championship was won by Georgetown (162 points), the Hoyas' first.
