The 2021 AFL Women's draft consists of the various periods when the 14 clubs in the AFL Women's competition can recruit players prior to the competition's 2022 season 6.

Special assistance

In May 2021, just before the draft period began, the AFL Commission approved special draft and signing assistance to the {{AFLW|GC}}, {{AFLW|Gee}}, {{AFLW|WC}}, {{AFLW|StK}} and {{AFLW|Ric}} to support the strengthening of their playing lists in line with the competition's leading clubs. As a condition of receiving assistance, the clubs were required to use at least five selections at the upcoming draft.{{cite news |title=Commission signs off on priority picks for five clubs |url=https://womens.afl/news/72212/commission-signs-off-on-priority-picks-for-five-clubs |access-date=26 July 2021 |work=AFL Media |publisher=Telstra Media |date=14 May 2021}}
