The 2010–11 Chicago Bulls season was the 45th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

The Bulls won their 8th division title this season and finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference and the whole NBA but fell short to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. It is the first time since 1975 that the Bulls failed to follow up a division title with an NBA title (that year, the Bulls were in the Midwest Division).
