Wrestle Kingdom 11 in Tokyo Dome was a professional wrestling event promoted by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). The event took place on January 4, 2017, at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. It was the 26th January 4 Tokyo Dome Show, which is NJPW's biggest annual event and has been called "the largest wrestling show in the world outside of the United States" and the "Japanese equivalent to the Super Bowl".The show was main evented by Kazuchika Okada successfully defending the IWGP Heavyweight Championship against the 2016 G1 Climax winner Kenny Omega. The match went into history as the then-longest ever held as part of the January 4 Tokyo Dome Show (later surpassed by the main event of night Two of Wrestle Kingdom 15). Other featured matches saw Tetsuya Naito successfully defend the IWGP Intercontinental Championship against Hiroshi Tanahashi, Hirooki Goto defeat Katsuyori Shibata to become the new NEVER Openweight Champion and Hiromu Takahashi defeat Kushida to become the new IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion. As part of a partnership between NJPW and the American Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion, the ROH World Championship was also defended at the event with Adam Cole defeating Kyle O'Reilly to become the new champion. All in all, the event featured eleven matches (one on the pre-show), eight of which were contested for championships, leading to six title changes.

The main event was widely praised by both journalists and other wrestlers. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, who normally rates matches on a scale of zero to five stars, gave the match a six-star rating, stating that "Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada may have put on the greatest match in pro wrestling history". Both Pro Wrestling Illustrated and Tokyo Sports named the main event Match of the Year.
