The 2011–12 San Antonio Spurs season was the 45th season of the franchise, 39th in San Antonio and 36th in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Spurs tied the Chicago Bulls for the best record of the season at 50–16, transmuted to 62–20 in an 82-game season, as the season was shortened to 66 games due to the 2011 NBA lockout.

The Spurs attained the first seed in the Western Conference, earning a berth in the 2012 NBA playoffs, where they swept both the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Clippers in four games in the First Round and Semifinals, respectively, only to be eliminated in six games by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.
