The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2011 was the ninth edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, held on 3 December 2011 at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex in Yerevan, Armenia, and presented by Gohar Gasparyan and Avet Barseghyan. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the Public Television Company of Armenia (ARMTV). It was the first time in history of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest that the contest was hosted the previous year's winning broadcaster, and the first time the Contest was held in Asia, or outside Europe. Swedish company HD Resources assisted with the technical side of the production.
Broadcasters from thirteen countries participated in the contest, with Malta and Serbia withdrawing and Bulgaria returning.
The winner was Georgia with the song "Candy Music" by the group Candy. Netherlands and Belarus finished in second and third place, respectively. This was Georgia's second victory in the contest following a previous victory in 2008.
