The Special Federal Elections, 2011 were an election that was organized to replace the 2011 Provisional Congress, taking place in May and June 2011. The elections were held because of some citizens' discomfort with the interim Villanova I Government, especially its law-making, as it was unelected. This discomfort manifested itself in the 2011 May Revolution.

On July 1, 2011, the 2011 Second Congress was sworn in, solving the problem. The polls were closed on June 23.
