The 2021 Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship was the second staging of the Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship and the 133rd staging overall of a championship for the top-ranking hurling teams in Cork. The draw for the group stage placings took place on 29 April 2021.[1] The championship began on 14 July 2021 and ended on 21 November 2021.

Blackrock entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Midleton at the semi-final stage.[2][3] Carrigtwohill were relegated from the championship after being beaten in a playoff by Charleville.[4]

The final was played on 21 November 2021 at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork, between Glen Rovers and Midleton, in what was their first meeting in a final in 30 years. Midleton won the match by 0-24 to 1-18 to claim their eighth championship title overall and a first title since 2013.[5]

Patrick Horgan was the championship's top scorer with 6-56.
