The 2011–12 Welsh Premier League is the third season of the Women's Welsh Premier League, Wales' premier football league. Northop Hall Girls replaced Llandudno Junction Ladies in the Northern Conference.[1]

The season kicked off on Sunday, 25 September 2011, with the final being played on 13 May 2012. It was the last season to feature a championship final, following the introduction of a 12-team league from the 2012–13 season.[2] As a result of that, no team was relegated this year.[3]
