State Route 11 is a state highway in Maine. It connects to New Hampshire Route 11 at its south end in Lebanon and travels through the counties of York, Cumberland, Androscoggin, Kennebec, Somerset, Waldo, Penobscot, Piscataquis, and Aroostook. The road ends at U.S. 1 in Fort Kent, near its northern terminus at the Canadian border.

At just over 401 miles (645 km), Route 11 is, by far, the longest state highway in Maine, and the second longest numbered highway in the entire state (far behind U.S. Route 1, which runs just over 527 miles (848 km) in Maine). It is almost 100 miles (160 km) longer than Maine's longest Interstate Highway, its 303-mile (488 km) section of I-95.
