The 2011 IIHF Women's World Championship Division I was an international ice hockey tournament organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. It was played in Ravensburg, Germany, from 11 to 16 April 2011.[1] Division I represented the second tier of the IIHF Women's World Championship.

The winner of this tournament was promoted to the Top Division for the 2012 championship, while the last-placed team in the group was relegated to Division I B. Divisional championships changed titles for the 2012 season, so this tournament became Division I A, and Division II became Division I B.

On 29 March 2011, Japan withdrew from the tournament due to the 2011 Japan earthquake.[2] They retained their place in the 2012's Division I A, while the fifth placed team was relegated to Division I B.
