The 2021 Ladies European Tour was a series of golf tournaments for elite female golfers from around the world. The tournaments were sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour (LET).

The season was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic with many tournaments either being postponed or cancelled. Among the cancellations was the Australian Swing, the tour's season opening.{{cite web |title=LET postpones 2021 Australian swing |url=https://www.irishgolfdesk.com/news-files/2020/11/3/let-postpones-2021-australian-swing |publisher=Irish Golf Desk |access-date=1 February 2021}}
