The 2021 season was the 112th season in the history of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista. The season covered the period from 26 February 2021 to December 2021. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its major impact in the 2020 season were still felt on this season, as there was no pre-season and the first game took place just three days after the last season's match. The majority of games were still played behind closed doors.

On May 16, Vágner Mancini was fired after losing the 2021 Campeonato Paulista semi-finals to Palmeiras at Neo Química Arena. The club decided that three club professionals would take over training duties while a new manager was expected to be chosen: head of performance analysis Fernando Lázaro, fitness coach Flávio de Oliveira and head scout Mauro da Silva. Lázaro served as caretaker for the last two matches at the 2021 Copa Sudamericana against Sport Huancayo and River Plate.
On May 23, former club player Sylvinho was announced as the club's new manager until December 2022. He is expected to make his debut at the first match of the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.
