The 2011 CHIO Rotterdam was the 2011 edition of the CHIO Rotterdam, the Dutch official show jumping horse show. It was held as CSIO 5*.

The first (national) horse show was held 1937 in Rotterdam, and became an international horse show in 1938.^[1]

Former editions of the CHIO Rotterdam were held in June. In 2011, also the European Dressage Championship was held on the CHIO area.
