The 2011 Italian GP2 Series round was a GP2 Series motor race held on September 10 and 11, 2011 at Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Italy. It was the final round of the 2011 GP2 season. The race supported the 2011 Italian Grand Prix. This was the last of the season for series, but GP2 will race a non-championship round in Abu Dhabi.

After Romain Grosjean clinched Drivers' Championship in the previous round, the contest for the Teams' title continued as Barwa Addax was only 8 points ahead DAMS in the standings,[1] but the Spanish team won the title after the last race.
