The 2011 Masters (officially the 2011 Ladbrokes Mobile Masters) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament held between 9–16 January 2011 at the Wembley Arena in London, England. This was the first time that the Masters was sponsored by Ladbrokes.

Mark Selby was the defending champion, but he lost in the first round 4–6 against Mark King.

The event was the first to feature two Asian players in the final, as well as the first Masters final to feature two players not from the United Kingdom. Ding Junhui won in the final 10–4 against Marco Fu.

Field

Defending champion Mark Selby was the number 1 seed with World Champion Neil Robertson seeded 2. The remaining places were allocated to players based on the latest world rankings (revision 2). Jamie Cope was making his debut in the Masters.

Unlike all previous tournaments since 1990, there was no qualifying round and there was no wildcard hand-picked by World Snooker. This format has remained in place since.
