These are the Official Charts Company's UK Country Albums Chart number ones of 2011. The chart week runs from Friday to Thursday with the chart-date given as the following Thursday. Chart positions are based the multi-metric consumption of country music in the United Kingdom, blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums, and streaming equivalent albums. The chart contains 20 positions.

In the iteration of the chart dated 2 January, Mary Chapin Carpenter's The Age of Miracles spent its fifth week at number one, retaining its position from the final year of 2010. The album would hold at the top spot for the first four weeks of the year before being displaced by 34 Number Ones, a compilation album by country legend Alan Jackson. After a second week at number one, the album was overtaken by Sugarland's The Incredible Machine, which spent a total of five nonconsecutive weeks at the chart peak. On 26 February, Need You Now by Lady Antebellum spent its twenty-sixth total week at number one. The band's following album, Own the Night later spent thirteen consecutive weeks at number one after debuting on the chart on 9 October. Paper Airplane by bluegrass star Alison Krauss and her band Union Station spent two initial weeks at the chart summit in April immediately after its release, and would return to number one several times throughout the year, occupying the top spot for a total of fourteen weeks. Beginning on 4 September, Dolly Parton's Better Day held at number one for five weeks. The only others artists to spend multiple weeks at number one in 2011 were Josh T. Pearson and his album Last of the Country Gentlemen, which spent two consecutive weeks, and Neil Young's live album A Treasure, which remained for three weeks.
