The 2011–12 NBL season is the 29th season for the Melbourne Tigers in the NBL. After missing out on the playoffs last season, Melbourne will look to improve and return to finals stages of this season's competition. Due to the 2011 NBA Lockout, Melbourne acquired the services of Patrick Mills for the first 9 rounds until losing him to the Chinese team Xinjiang Flying Tigers.
