The Legg Mason Tennis Classic 2011 was a tennis tournament that took place from July 31 to August 7, 2011 in Washington, DC . It was part of the 2011 ATP World Tour and was played outdoors on hard courts. In the same week was in Kitzbuhel the bet-at-home Cup Kitzbühel played. In contrast to the Legg Mason Tennis Classic, which belonged to the ATP World Tour 500 category, this only counted to the ATP World Tour 250 category .

Defending champion in the singles was David Nalbandian , who was eliminated in the second round this year. In the final Radek Štěpánek defeated the top seeded Gaël Monfils ; the triumph in Washington was Štěpánek's first title since 2009 and the fifth of his career. In doubles, Mardy Fish and Mark Knowles were the defending champions, but Knowles competed with another partner this year and was eliminated in the quarterfinals. In the final Michaël Llodra and Nenad Zimonjić were able to prevail against Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecău . The victory in Washington is their first joint title and their first title of the season; for Llodra it is the 19th, for Zimonjić the 40th double title.

The field of participants in the single competition consisted of 48 players, that of the double competition consisted of 16 pairs. The 16 top seeded players in the singles each got a bye into the second round. The total prize pool was $ 1,049,760; total financial liabilities were $ 1,286,260.
