The 2011 OGAE Second Chance Contest will be the 25th OGAE Second Chance Contest, organised between members of international Eurovision Song Contest fan club OGAE to select the best song not to make it to the Eurovision Song Contest through their national finals. The contest will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden after the group Timoteij won the 2010 Contest for Sweden with "Kom".

21 countries are expected to compete in the contest. 5 countries will mark their return to the contest: Austria, Belgium, Iceland (as the entry for OGAE Rest of the World), Italy and the Netherlands will all send entries for the first time since 2005, 2008, 2001, 1999 and 2009 respectively. However Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Russia and Serbia will all withdraw. Andorra, France and the United Kingdom are lined up to be guest juries during the voting.
