2011 IIHF Women's World Championship Division III

The 2011 IIHF Women's World Championship Division III was an international ice hockey tournament organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. It was played in Newcastle, Australia, from 1 to 6 February 2011. Division III represented the fourth tier of the IIHF Women's World Championship.

The winner of this tournament was promoted to Division II (renamed I B) for the 2012 championships, while the last-placed team in the group was relegated to Division IV (renamed II B).

This tournament was the first at this level since 2008, and finished in dramatic style as the Netherlands won in a shootout. The top two ranked teams (Australia and the Netherlands), were both undefeated until they played each other on the final day, with Julie Zwarthoed scoring the decisive goal.
