Michigan's 11th congressional district is a United States congressional district located northwest of Detroit. From 2003 to 2013 it consisted of northwestern Wayne and southwestern Oakland counties. Prior to 1993, the district covered the state's Upper Peninsula and the northernmost portion of the Lower Peninsula, but that year it was shifted to the Detroit area, and its former geographical area became represented by the state's first district.

The 11th district was represented by Thad McCotter, who was elected in 2002. Congressman McCotter resigned on July 6, 2012.[1][2] He was replaced by Democrat David Curson, who won a special election on November 6, 2012.[2][3] Curson was sworn in on November 13, although he was replaced by Kerry Bentivolio on January 3, 2013.[2][4] David Trott won election in 2014 and was seated January 2015.
