Michigan's 11th congressional district is a United States Congressional District located just northwest of Detroit, consisting of northwestern Wayne and southwestern Oakland counties. Prior to 1993, the district covered the state's Upper Peninsula and the northernmost portion of the Lower Peninsula, but that year it was shifted to the Detroit area, and its former geographical area became represented by the state's first district.
The 11th district is currently represented by Thad McCotter, elected in 2002.
