The 2010–11 Boston Celtics season was the 65th season of the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

On June 30, 2010, Doc Rivers announced that he would return to coach the Celtics after speculating that he would resign in order to spend time with his family.

The off-season saw the acquisition of All-Stars Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal (no relation). Center Kendrick Perkins, who was working his way back from a torn ACL in last year's Finals, was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder mid-season. With Perkins gone, the Celtics still managed a 56-26 record and enter the playoffs as the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference.

They swept New York Knicks, led by newly acquired Carmelo Anthony, in four games in the first round to advance to the Conference Semifinals where they faced a Miami Heat squad that featured LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. However, the Heat proved too much for the Celtics and they easily won the series in five games, knocking Boston out of the playoffs.

After spending his only season with the Celtics, Shaquille O'Neal announced his retirement during the lockout after 19 seasons in the NBA.

The Big Four of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo and coach Rivers represented the Eastern Conference in the 2011 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
