The Bush AC11 is a British wooden-cased valve radio made around 1949–50. It receives long, medium and short wave broadcasts and has a socket for a gramophone pickup. Some versions also have connections for an external aerial, earth and extension speaker.

It uses five valves: UCH42, UF41, UBC41, UL41 and UY41. Despite the valve types, the AC11 is an AC-mains model with a mains transformer. The related DAC11 is a different version associated with DC/AC operation.
