The 11th Legislature of the Third Portuguese Republic (Portuguese: XI Legislatura da Terceira República Portuguesa) was a meeting of the Assembly of the Republic, the legislative body of Portugal. It convened on 15 October 2009, with its membership determined by the results of the 2009 Portuguese legislative election held the previous 27 September.

After the Fourth Stability and Growth Program, presented by the Socialist Party Government, failed to achieve a majority in Parliament, Prime Minister José Sócrates resigned and President Aníbal Cavaco Silva dissolved the Assembly of the Republic, calling a snap election in June 2011. The Legislature ended on 19 June 2011.
