The 2011 Miami-Dade County mayoral recall election was a recall election that saw the voters of Miami-Dade County, Florida vote to remove mayor of Miami-Dade County Carlos Álvarez from office.

The election was held coincidingly with a vote that also saw Miami-Dade county commissioner Natacha Seijas also successfully recalled.[1]

In terms of population, the county was considered the largest United States municipality to recall its executive.[2][3] The county was also, at the time, the second-largest recall vote of any kind in the United States, after the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election.[4]

Months after the vote, a special election was held to fill the vacant mayoralty.[5]
