The 2021 London ePrix (formally the 2021 Heineken London E-Prix) was a pair of Formula E electric car races held in and around the ExCeL London centre in the Royal Docks area of the London borough of Newham on 24 and 25 July 2021. The circuit is designed as an indoor-outdoor venue, combining the ExCeL facilities and the surrounding public roads at the Royal Victoria Dock.[1] It marked the twelfth and thirteenth rounds of the 2020–21 Formula E season, as well as the third running of the event, and the first since it was last held in 2016 at Battersea Park.

The first race was won by Jake Dennis, with Nyck de Vries and Alex Lynn rounding out the podium.[2] Alex Lynn took his maiden Formula E victory in the second race, finishing ahead of Nyck de Vries and Mitch Evans, as original race winner Lucas di Grassi was disqualified for failing to serve a drive-through penalty.[3]
