The Campeonato Catarinense de Futebol Profissional da Série A de 2021, known as the 2021 Campeonato Catarinense, was the 96th season of Santa Catarina's top-flight football league. The season began on 24 February and ended on 26 May 2021.
On 3 March, FCF suspended the tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.[1] Although the Campeonato Catarinense was suspended some postponed matches were played. The tournament resumed on 20 March.[2]
In the finals, Avaí defeated the defending champions Chapecoense 3–2 on aggregate to win their 18th title.[3]
The tournament was contested between 12 teams, who first played in a single round-robin tournament. In the first stage, the bottom two teams were relegated to next year's Série B. The final stage was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis.[4] Champions and runners-up qualified for the 2022 Copa do Brasil, while three teams qualified for the 2022 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[5]
