Georgia's 11th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia. The district is currently represented by Republican Barry Loudermilk. The district's boundaries have been redrawn following the 2010 census, which granted an additional congressional seat to Georgia.[5] The district was redrawn again in 2023, effective for the 2024 election cycle.

Located in the northwestern portion of the Atlanta metropolitan area, the district covers the entirety of Bartow, Gordon, and Pickens counties, as well as western Cherokee County, and northwestern and central Cobb County. It includes Adairsville, Calhoun, Canton, Cartersville, Kennesaw, Woodstock and most of Marietta.

After 2023, the district no longer includes northern Fulton County.[6]
