The Matra MS11 is a Formula One car used by the Matra team during the 1968 Formula One season. It was relatively unsuccessful, considering the impact of its successor, the Matra MS80 which won both World Championship titles in 1969. The car was raced almost exclusively by Jean-Pierre Beltoise with leading man Jackie Stewart competing rather successfully in the older MS9 and MS10. Its best outing came at the 1968 Dutch Grand Prix where Beltoise followed the Scot in a 1-2 victory and recorded the fastest lap.
