The 2021 Ukrainian Super Cup was the 18th edition of Ukrainian Super Cup, an annual football match contested by the previous season's Ukrainian Premier League champions and Ukrainian Cup winners Dynamo Kyiv and league runners-up Shakhtar Donetsk. Dynamo Kyiv were the defending champions for the third consecutive year, after winning the trophy in 2018, 2019, and 2020, all against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Unlike most previous editions, the Super Cup was not a season opener, but was scheduled in the middle of the season instead. Initially the game was scheduled to be played on 24 July 2021. On 6 July, the game was postponed to 22 September 2021 on the request of both clubs because of a large number of players participating in the late stages of UEFA Euro 2020 and limited time between seasons.

While traditionally being held in Odesa, for the second year in a row the match took place in Kyiv at the Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex. The game was be played between rounds 8 and 9 of the 2021–22 Ukrainian Premier League.
