German submarine U-1110 was a Type VIIC/41 U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.

She was ordered on 2 April 1942, and was laid down on 18 December 1943 at Nordseewerke, Emden, as yard number 232. She was launched on 21 July 1944 and commissioned under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Joachim-Werner Bach on 24 September 1944.

Design
German Type VIIC/41 submarines were preceded by the heavier Type VIIC submarines. U-1110 had a displacement of 769 t when at the surface and 871 t while submerged. She had a total length of 67.10 m, a pressure hull length of 50.50 m, an overall beam of 6.20 m, a height of 9.60 m, and a draught of 4.74 m. The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of 2800 to 3200 PS for use while surfaced, two SSW GU 343/38-8 double-acting electric motors producing a total of 750 PS for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.23 m propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 230 m.

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 17.7 kn and a maximum submerged speed of 7.6 kn. When submerged, the boat could operate for 80 nmi at 4 kn; when surfaced, she could travel 8500 nmi at 10 kn. U-1110 was fitted with five 53.3 cm torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes or 26 TMA or TMB Naval mines, one 8.8 cm SK C/35 naval gun, 220 rounds, and an anti-aircraft gun. The boat had a complement of between forty-four and fifty-two.

Service history
On 14 May 1945, U-1110 surrendered at List auf Sylt, Germany and was transferred on 23 June 1945, from Wilhelmshaven to Loch Ryan, Scotland. Of the 156 U-boats that eventually surrendered to the Allied forces at the end of the war, U-1110 was one of 116 selected to take part in Operation Deadlight. U-1110 was towed out and sank on 21 December 1945, by naval gunfire.

The wreck now lies at 55.75°N, -8.31667°W.
