Indokistani presidential election of 2011 (Indonesian: Pemilihan Presiden Indokistan tahun 2011) was an election took place on 13 September 2011 in order to elect the new president succeeding Farhan Abbas, who was barred from seeking a second term as Indokistani President. The election was resulting on vice president Dicky L. K. victory with a simple majority of 47.34% of votes, and he was inaugurated on 16 September.

The election was seen as the most successful and competitive inside Indokistani history because of several reasons. 2011 election was the only election that uses physical voting booth (opened in Jumstraad), while in the next election, an online poll instead was used, remembering Indokistani citizens that began to live in far distance against each other. This election also became the one with most voters, with 19 out of 23 registered voters cast their votes.
