1911–12 Brentford F.C. season

During the 1911–12 English football season, Brentford competed in the Southern League First Division. A forgettable season saw the club finish in mid-table and advance to the first round proper of the FA Cup.

Season summary
Brentford secretary-manager Fred Halliday strengthened his squad in preparation for the 1911–12 Southern League First Division season, bringing in left back Walter Spratt, outside right Billy Brawn, inside forward Patsy Hendren and centre forward Thomas Graham. He would later sign forwards Fred Rouse and Willis Rippon in a bid to improve the team's goalscoring, with Rippon going on to finish the season as top-scorer with 20 goals. Full back Steve Buxton was sold to Oldham Athletic on the eve of the season for a £425 fee, in a bid to settle some of the club's debts. The sale of Geordie Reid to Clyde for a club record £500 fee in September 1911 helped pay off further debts.

Brentford finished the season in 14th place and advanced to the first round proper of the FA Cup, taking Crystal Palace to a replay before going out of the competition. The 9–0 league defeat to Coventry City on 27 December 1911 is the heaviest in club history.
