The 2021 Korean FA Cup, known as Hana Bank FA Cup due to sponsorship reasons, was the 26th edition of the Korean FA Cup. Similar to the previous year, U-League teams did not participate, and instead the top ten sides from the K5 League gained qualification.^[1] Video assistant referees (VAR) were used in the semi-finals and finals.

Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors were the defending champions, but were defeated by Yangju Citizen FC in the Fourth Round.

Jeonnam Dragons defeated Daegu FC in the final – on the away goals rule – after it ended 4–4 on aggregate to win their fourth cup title and qualifying for the 2022 AFC Champions League Group stage.
