We have discovered an extended X-ray feature which is apparently associated
with millisecond pulsar (MSP) PSR J1911-1114 from a XMM-Newton observation,
which extends for ~1′ and the radio timing position of PSR J1911-1114 is in the
mid point of the feature. The orientation of the feature is similar to the
proper motion direction of PSR J1911-1114. Its X-ray spectrum can be
well-modeled by an absorbed power-law with a photon index of
$Gamma=1.8^{+0.3}_{-0.2}$. If this feature is confirmed to be a pulsar wind
nebula (PWN), this will be the third case that an X-ray PWN found to be powered
by a MSP.
