The 2021 Monte Carlo Rally (also known as the 89e Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo) was a motor racing event for rally cars that was held over four days between 21 and 24 January 2021. It marked the eighty-ninth running of the Monte Carlo Rally, and was the first round of the 2021 World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3. The 2021 event was based in the town of Gap in the Hautes-Alpes department of France. The rally consisted of fourteen special stages, covering a total competitive distance of 257.64 km (160.09 mi).

Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul were the defending rally winners. Their team, Hyundai Shell Mobis WRT, were the reigning manufacturers' winners. Mads Østberg and Torstein Eriksen were the defending winners in the WRC-2 category, while Eric Camilli and François-Xavier Buresi were the defending rally winners in the WRC-3 category. Østberg and Eriksen did not defend their WRC-2 title as they did not enter the rally. Camilli and Buresi did not defend their WRC-3 win as they entered in the WRC-2 category.

Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia won the rally, their eighth win in Monte Carlo. The result saw them set a new record for wins in Monte Carlo. Andreas Mikkelsen and Ola Fløene won the World Rally Championship-2 category, while Yohan Rossel and Benoît Fulcrand were the winners in the World Rally Championship-3.

The following crews were entered into the rally. The event was open to crews competing in the World Rally Championship, its support categories, the World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3, and privateer entries that were not registered to score points in any championship. Ten crews were entered under Rally1 regulations, as were eighteen Rally2 crews; of these, seven were nominated to score points in the World Rally Championship-2 and eleven in the World Rally Championship-3.

The route for the 2021 rally covers 257.64 km (160.09 mi) in competitive stages and is the shortest in the event's history. The rally was originally planned to be run over sixteen stages, but was reduced to fifteen amid concerns over organisers' ability to run the event during the COVID-19 pandemic, and ultimately to fourteen so as to respect the curfew established throughout France from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

All dates and times are CET (UTC+1).
