The 1911 All England Badminton Championships was a badminton tournament held at the Royal Horticultural Hall, Westminster, England from February 22 to February 27, 1911.[1] [2]

The Championship events suffered from a lack of entries but other events such as the mixed doubles handicap attracted 50 pairs.[3]

Frank Chesterton was unable to defend his singles title due to severe rheumatism. There were only three first round matches to determine quarter finalists.
