The 2011 West Texas A&M Buffaloes football team represented West Texas A&M University during the 2010 NCAA Division II football season as a member of the Lone Star Conference (LSC). Led by seventh-year head coach Don Carthel, the Buffaloes played their home games at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium in Canyon, Texas.

The team finished the regular season with an overall record of 7–3 with a LSC record of 6–2, finishing third in the conference. For just the second time under Carthel, the Buffs failed to receive a bid for the NCAA Division II Playoffs. Instead, the team was invited to the Kanza Bowl, where they defeated Central Missouri 26–7.[1]
