The 2011 Kentucky Indy 300 was the twelfth running of the Kentucky Indy 300 and the seventeenth round of the 2011 IndyCar Series season. It took place on Sunday, October 2, 2011. The race contested over 200 laps at the 1.480-mile (2.382 km) Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky.

This would ultimately be the last classified race of Dan Wheldon's career. In the following race, Wheldon would be involved in a 15-car accident at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which would claim his life. The race was abandoned, and therefore was not classified as an official race. Buddy Rice and Vítor Meira were also in this and the next race, after which they made no more IndyCar starts, making this the final classified race of their careers as well. This was also the final classified race for the Newman/Haas Racing.
