Parliamentary elections were held Cape Verde on 6 February 2011. The result was a victory for the ruling African Party for the Independence of Cape Verde (PAICV), led by Prime Minister Jose Maria Neves, which won 38 of the 72 seats in the National Assembly.

Although technical problems prevented a prompt announcement of official results, it quickly became clear that PAICV had won a parliamentary majority, and Veiga conceded defeat on 7 February 2011. The opposition's immediate acceptance of defeat, prior to an official announcement, was viewed as a sign of the strength of democracy in Cape Verde.

The PAICV won the most in the constitutencies of Santo Antão São Vicente-Santa Luzia, Boa Vista, Santiago (North and South), Fogo and Brava in Northern and Southern Santiago, it had a higher percentage, while the MpD won the most in the islands of São Nicolau, Sal and Boa Vista.
