The 2021 Montreal Alouettes season is the 54th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 66th overall. The Alouettes will attempt to improve upon their 10–8 record from 2019, make the playoffs for the second consecutive season, and win their eighth Grey Cup championship.

This is scheduled to be the second season for Khari Jones as the team's head coach and offensive coordinator as he had the "interim" tag removed after he agreed to a three-year extension on November 26, 2019.[1] This would be his first full season, including pre-season, as the team's head coach.[2] This would also be the first season with Danny Maciocia as the team's general manager.[3]

An 18-game season schedule was originally released on November 20, 2020, but it was announced on April 21, 2021 that the start of the season would likely be delayed until August and feature a 14-game schedule.[4][5] On June 15, 2021, the league released the revised 14-game schedule with regular season play beginning on August 5, 2021.[6]
