The 2021–22 Lamar Lady Cardinals basketball team will represent Lamar University during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Lady Cardinals, led by third year head coach Aqua Franklin, play their home games at the Montagne Center in Beaumont, Texas as members of the Western Athletic Conference.
