2021 Derry Senior Football Championship
The 2021 Derry Senior Football Championship was the 98th edition of Derry GAA's premier gaelic football tournament for the top clubs. The sixteen teams who qualified for the 2021 senior championship (12 Division 1A teams and four Division 1B teams) are explained in the 'Competition Format' section below.
The 2020 Derry senior championship format was changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Teams competed in an initial group stage where each team played three games before playing at least one game in the first knockout stage. The 2021 Championship followed a similar format.
Relegation playoffs were introduced in 2021. Newbridge lost their relegation quarter final against Claudy by 0–13 to 0-12 and was initially relegated to Division 1B for 2022. Banagher won their relegation quarter final against Dungiven by 1–09 to 0-09 and were promoted to Division 1A for 2022. At the start of the 2022 season the leagues were restructured. Division 1A was expanded from twelve to sixteen teams and renamed the Derry Senior League. Banagher, Dungiven, Kilrea and Steelstown (the 2021 intermediate champions) were the four additional teams.
Glen beat the defending champions Slaughtneil by 1–13 to 0–07 at Celtic Park, Derry to win their first senior championship.
The winners received the John McLaughlin Cup.

The quarter final draw was open but subject to the restriction that repeat pairings should be avoided if possible. The semi final draw was open.
