2011–12 Golden State Warriors season

The 2011–12 Golden State Warriors season was the 66th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 50th anniversary of their time in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Warriors hired former NBA player and ESPN color commentator Mark Jackson as their head coach during the lockout, and finished with a 23–43 win–loss record. This was the last time the Warriors failed to qualify for the playoffs until 2020.

Preseason
Due to the 2011 NBA lockout negotiations, the programmed preseason schedule, along with the first two weeks of the regular season, were scrapped, and a two-game preseason was set for each team once the lockout concluded.
