The 2021–22 Gibraltar National League season is the third season of the Gibraltar National League in Gibraltar, and the 123rd season of football on the territory overall. The league is due to kick off in October 2021. Lincoln Red Imps are the reigning champions, winning the title on the final day of the 2020–21 season.

Format

The structure of the league is expected to follow that of the previous two seasons. Teams will play one round of games as a single league, before splitting into two groups: the Championship Group contested by the top 6 sides, and the Challenge Group between the bottom 5 sides. The winners of the Challenge Group will receive the GFA Challenge Trophy and receive a bye to the second round of the next season's Rock Cup.

Teams

The following 11 teams competed in the 2021–22 season. Boca Gibraltar were expelled from the league in December 2020 and did not return.
