State Route 11 was a two part highway in Elko County, Nevada. The southern part is still part of the Nevada state route network as State Route 229.
The northern part is a loop route of former SR 51, now State Route 225, between Elko and Owyhee. While the main route connects these two towns via Mountain City, SR 11 connected them via Tuscarora, Jack Creek, Deep Creek and Whiterock. The part of the northern segment south of Deep Creek is still part of the Nevada state route network, as State Route 226. North of Deep Creek the route is no longer maintained by the state and is an unimproved road. At Deep Creek there was a spur route, State Route 11A, that ascended towards Maggie Summit, between the peaks of the Bull Run Mountains and the Independence Mountains of the Humboldt–Toiyabe National Forest.
