The 2011–12 Parma season ran from August 2011 to May 2012, the club's 21st season in Serie A and their third consecutive season in that division, having finished in 12th position the previous season. An up-and-down start to the 2011–12 season saw Parma in a comfortable 10th position after 11 games. However, a six-game winless streak culminating in a 5–0 defeat away to Internazionale was enough for Ghirardi to let Colomba go on 9 January 2012, despite Parma sitting in 15th position and seven points clear of relegation, having picked up 19 points from 17 games. Roberto Donadoni was chosen as his replacement immediately. Donadoni initially failed to bring about a change in fortunes, but the side won seven matches in a row to set a new club record to finish in eighth position, level on points with Roma.

As well as competing in Serie A, Parma took part in the Coppa Italia, a competition which they exited in the fourth round after losing to Serie B side Hellas Verona.

Parma unveiled their 2011–12 kits on 10 July 2011. The home kit again features the traditional black cross on a white shirt, but the first choice shorts and socks are white, rather than black. The away kit an unorthodox all-black kit featuring a single vertical yellow and blue stripe down the middle of the front of the shirt. The other two change kits are inverses of each other; both feature thin hoops, but one of the shirts is blue with yellow trim and the other is yellow with blue trim. The shorts and socks for the home and away kits are interchangeable; likewise, those for the third and fourth kits are. Clothing manufacturer Navigare remained the principal shirt sponsor with Banca Monte Parma also still providing secondary support. Locally based Erreà continued to manufacture the kits. For the Coppa Italia, the blue kit will act as the first-choice kit, the white as the second and the blue as the third.
