The '''11th Sikh Regiment''' was an infantry regiment of the [[British Indian Army]]. They could trace their origins to 1922, when after World War I the Indian government reformed the army moving from single battalion regiments to multi battalion regiments.<ref>Sumner p.15</ref>
The regiment was formed from the:
* 1st Battalion – [[14th King George's Own Ferozepore Sikhs]]
* 2nd Battalion – [[15th Ludhiana Sikhs]]
* 3rd Battalion – [[45th Rattray's Sikhs]]
* 4th Battalion – [[36th Sikhs]]
* 5th Battalion – [[47th Sikhs]]
* 10th Training Battalion – [[35th Sikhs]]

During World War II a further seven infantry battalions were formed the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 14th, 25th and a machine gun battalion. The 8th and 9th battalions were converted to Light Anti-Aircraft battalions.

The regiment was allocated to the new [[Indian Army]] on independence and became the [[Sikh Regiment]].
