Indiana's 11th congressional district was a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives in Indiana. In its final configuration, it covered most of the southern portion of Indianapolis. It was eliminated as a result of the redistricting cycle after the 1980 census.

It was last represented by Andrew Jacobs, Jr. After the 1980 census, most of its territory became the 10th district, and Jacobs transferred there.
