Paris Métro Line 11 (French: Ligne 11 du métro de Paris) is one of the sixteen lines of the Paris Métro. It links Châtelet to Rosny–Bois-Perrier in the northeastern suburbs. This line was one of the last to be put into service in 1935; it was then intended to replace the Belleville funicular tramway, which closed in 1924. The line is 11.7 km (7.3 mi) in length with 19 stations.

Before its 2024 extension, it was one of the least used lines, with less than forty million passengers in 2023. The RATP expects thirty-one million more in 2025, with this extension to four major municipalities in Seine-Saint-Denis.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the line was an experimental line for innovations developed by the RATP. As such, in 1956, it was the first metro line in the world to be equipped with rubber tyres; it was also equipped with a centralised control station and automatic train operation in 1967, which was used for the first time on the Paris network. It was extended from Mairie des Lilas to Rosny-Bois-Perrier on 13 June 2024, almost doubling its length and adding six stations. A proposed extension to Noisy–Champs as part of the Grand Paris Express project has been postponed indefinitely.
