The XI SS Corps (German: XI. SS-Armeekorps later XI. SS-Panzerkorps) was a Waffen-SS corps created on July 24, 1944 in southern Poland on the basis of the remains of the headquarters of the defeated V Army Corps and employed on the Eastern Front in 1944-1945 during World War II.
There were no SS units in the corps, as the SS prefix in the name is explained only by the fact that the commander, Matthias Kleinheisterkamp, was not a general of the Wehrmacht, but an SS-Obergruppenführer. On February 1, 1945 the corps was transformed to the XI SS Panzer Corps.
