We measure the starspot radii and latitude distribution on the K4 dwarf HAT-P-11 from Kepler short-cadence photometry. We take advantage of starspot occultations by HAT-P-11's highly misaligned planet to compare the spot size and latitude distributions to those of sunspots. We find that HAT-P-11's spots are distributed in latitude much like sunspots near the solar activity maximum, with a mean spot latitude of ≃16° ± 1°. The majority of HAT-P-11's starspots have physical sizes that closely resemble the sizes of sunspots at solar maximum. We estimate the mean spotted area coverage on HAT-P-11 to be 3_–1⁺⁶ % , roughly two orders of magnitude greater than the typical solar spotted area.
