The 2011 World Junior Figure Skating Championships was an international figure skating competition during the 2010–11 season. Commonly called "World Juniors" and "Junior Worlds", the event crowned the World Junior Champions in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.

The event took place in Gangneung, South Korea from 28 February to 6 March 2011. It was a qualification event for the figure skating events at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics.^[1]

Qualification

The competition was open to skaters from ISU Member Nations who were at least 13 but not 19—or 21 for male pair skaters and ice dancers—before July 1, 2010 in their place of birth. National associations selected their entries according to their own criteria.

The term "Junior" in ISU competition refers to age, not skill level. Skaters may remain age-eligible for Junior Worlds even after competing nationally and internationally at the senior level. At junior events, the ISU requires that all programs conform to junior-specific rules regarding program length, jumping passes, types of elements, etc.

Number of entries per discipline

Based on the results of the 2010 World Junior Championships, the ISU allowed each country one to three entries per discipline. Countries which qualified more than one entry in a discipline:

Spots	Men	Ladies	Pairs	Dance
3	Japan  Russia  United States	Japan  Russia  United States	China  Japan  Russia	Russia  United States
2	Canada  China  Kazakhstan  Sweden	Canada  Germany  Sweden	Canada  United States	Canada  France  Italy  Ukraine

If not listed above, one entry was allowed.

• Kazakhstan declined second spot in men's singles competition.
• China declined two spots in the pairs competition.
• Japan declined two spots in the pairs competition.
• Italy declined second spot in the ice dance competition.
