The 2010–11 season was the 112th season of competitive league football in the history of English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. The club competed in the Premier League, the highest level of English football, for a second consecutive season.

Although this season was the club's 62nd at the top level of English football, it was the first time they had faced consecutive campaigns in the highest division since 1981–82. The previous season had seen them survive their return to the highest level with a 15th-place finish, eight points above the relegation zone.

The club survived for a second successive season after finishing 17th, one place above the relegation zone. Despite losing their final fixture, results elsewhere on the final day kept Wolves one point ahead of the bottom three teams.

Preparing for their second consecutive season in the Premier League, the club made five new additions. Beside turning the loan of Adlène Guedioura into a permanent deal, the summer also saw the arrival of Belgian international defender Jelle Van Damme, and two players captured from relegated Hull City - Steven Mouyokolo and Stephen Hunt; the latter ending a pursuit that had begun during the previous transfer window. Their most expensive new addition was striker Steven Fletcher who equalled the club's record fee of £6.5 million in joining from another relegated side, Burnley. For a third successive season, England under-21 defender Michael Mancienne joined on loan from Chelsea.

Those players not involved in the World Cup Finals resumed training at their Sir Jack Hayward training ground on 28 June, before travelling for a four-day stay in Dublin, where they undertook their first pre-season game. Preparations were completed with the only home friendly, a game against La Liga side Atletico Bilbao.
