The 2021 Golden Gala was the 41st edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting held in Italy, this time in Florence rather than the usual Rome location. Held on 10 June at the Stadio Luigi Ridolfi [it], it was the third leg of the 2021 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit.

The meeting was highlighted by Dina Asher-Smith's victory in the 200 metres, as well as Jakob Ingebrigtsen's unexpected European record in the 5000 metres with a time of 12:48.45 in his first sub-13 clocking.[1]

Athletes competing in the Diamond League disciplines earned extra compensation and points which went towards qualifying for the Diamond League finals in Zürich. First place earned 8 points, with each step down in place earning one less point than the previous, until no points are awarded in 9th place or lower.[2]
