The 2011 Southern Conference Baseball Tournament was held at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park in Charleston, SC from May 25 through May 29. Fourth seeded Georgia Southern won the tournament and earned the Southern Conference's automatic bid to the 2011 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. It was Georgia Southern's fifth SoCon tournament win and second in three years.
The tournament used a double-elimination format. Only the top eight teams participate, so Wofford, Davidson, and The Citadel were not in the field.
