Island council elections were held in the Caribbean Netherlands on 2 March 2011 to elect the members of the island councils of Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius. They were the first island council elections since the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in 2010.

The elections were held on the same day as the provincial elections in the European Netherlands. The Bonaire Patriotic Union won the election (4 seats) in Bonaire, the Windward Islands People's Movement (4 seats) in Saba, and the Democratic Party (2 seats) in Sint Eustatius.[1] [2] [3]
