The 2011 North Carolina Tar Heels men's soccer team represented the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in all NCAA Division I men's soccer competitions. The Tar Heels were coached by Carlos Somoano. It was Somoano's first season in charge of the Tar Heels following Elmar Bolowich's departure to coach the Creighton Bluejays men's soccer program.

The season proved to be one of the most successful seasons in program history. The Tar Heels completed a college "treble", winning the ACC regular season, the ACC Tournament and the NCAA Tournament.
