The 2011 Georgia State Panthers football team represented Georgia State University in the 2011 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Panthers were led by second year head coach Bill Curry and played their home games at the Georgia Dome. Although Georgia State is a full member of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), the Panthers played as an FCS independent. This was their second season in program history and last as an independent. They became a football member of the CAA in 2012. They finished the season with a record of 3–8.

The season was marred by quarterback issues both on and off the field. Drew Little, who was the Panthers' starting quarterback for the 2010 season, was suspended for the first four games of the season and his backup, Kelton Hill, was arrested prior to the season opener. This left punter Bo Schlecter as the Panthers' starting quarterback. [1]
