The 2011 Women's EuroHockey Nations Championship was the 10th edition of the women's field hockey championship organised by the European Hockey Federation. It was held from 20 August to 27 August 2011 in Mönchengladbach, Germany.^[1]

This tournament was also a qualifier for the 2012 Olympics, with both finalists earning a spot. In the event that England played in the final, the third placed team would have qualified instead, as England cannot qualify as a nation for the olympics (being part of Great Britain).^[2]

The Netherlands won the title for the eighth time after defeating Germany 3–0 in the final.^[3]
