No. 11 Squadron RCAF was a Royal Canadian Air Force squadron active during the Second World War. It was primarily used in an anti-submarine role and was based on the east coast of Canada and Newfoundland. It was initially formed at RCAF Station Ottawa before moving to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia on 3 November 1939, where it became operational.

From 26 October 1943 to 17 June 1944, it operated from Torbay, Newfoundland before returning to Halifax for a year, before again moving across the country to Patricia Bay, British Columbia on 31 May 1945.^[1] The squadron flew the Lockheed Hudson and Consolidated Liberator maritime patrol bombers before disbanding on 15 September.^[3] The unit's first operational flight, on 10 November 1939, was to provide sighting practice for the anti-aircraft guns of the Royal Navy battlecruiser HMS Repulse and aircraft carrier HMS Furious, as well as for the Halifax, Nova Scotia shore batteries.^[1]
