The 2011 CME Group Titleholders was the first CME Group Titleholders, a women's professional golf tournament and the season-ending event on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour. It was played November 17–20, 2011 at the Grand Cypress Golf Club in Orlando, Florida.

The top three finishers who were LPGA members from each official LPGA tournament, not otherwise qualified, earned a spot in the Titleholders. If tied, the player with the lower final round score qualified.[1]
