The 2021 Newfoundland and Labrador Tankard, the men's provincial curling championship for Newfoundland and Labrador, was held from January 27 to 31 at the RE/MAX Centre in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. The winning Greg Smith rink represented Newfoundland and Labrador at the 2021 Tim Hortons Brier, Canada's national men's curling championship in Calgary, Alberta. The event was held in conjunction with the 2021 Newfoundland and Labrador Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the provincial women's championship.{{Cite web|url=https://nl.curling.io/en/events/7798-2021-men-s-tankard|title=2021 Newfoundland and Labrador Tankard – Event Information|website=Newfoundland and Labrador Curling Association|access-date=January 26, 2021}}

The 2021 Tankard was one of the few provincial curling championships to be held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. While most provincial championships were cancelled, both the Newfoundland and Labrador men's and women's provincials were given the green light by the provincial government and chief medial officer.{{cite news|title=Both provincial championships to be played at ReMax Centre in St. John's later this month|url=https://www.saltwire.com/sports/regional-sports/nl-tankard-scotties-playdowns-given-greenlight-to-go-ahead-542695/|website=Saltwire Network|access-date=January 27, 2021}}

In the final, Greg Smith won his second tankard by defeating Colin Thomas 9–8 in a double extra end.
