The 26th GCC Champions League () was the 26th edition of the GCC Champions League for clubs of the Gulf Cooperation Council nations, held in 2011.
The tournament has changed over the years, especially with the AFC Champions League taking up to four clubs from certain leagues meaning that this tournament generally no longer witnesses league winners participating but clubs invited to enter.
In this edition no clubs represent Saudi Arabia.
