 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed `NeptuneLogger` when using DDP ([#11030](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/11030))
 - Fixed a bug to disable logging hyperparameters in logger if there are no hparams ([#11105](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/issues/11105))
 - Fixed an issue when torch-scripting a `LightningModule` after training with `Trainer(sync_batchnorm=True)` ([#11078](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/11078))
 - Fixed an `AttributeError` occuring when using a `CombinedLoader` (multiple dataloaders) for prediction ([#11111](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/11111))
