The 2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship was played at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, from March 31 – April 3.

This was the 40th edition of the Kraft Nabisco Championship and its 29th year as a women's major golf championship.

Stacy Lewis shot 69 (−3) in the final round to win her first major, three strokes ahead of runner-up Yani Tseng, the defending champion, 54-hole leader, and number one player in the women's world rankings.

It was also her first official victory on the LPGA Tour.
