The 2021 Meeting de Paris was the 26th edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting in Paris, France. Held on 28 August 2021 at the Stade Sébastien Charléty, it was the tenth leg of the 2021 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit. This was the second time the meeting was held on the stadium's renovated blue running track.

The meeting was highlighted by comeback wins from Olympic champions Armand Duplantis, Elaine Thompson-Herah and Hansle Parchment after losses in Lausanne earlier.[1] Additionally, Francine Niyonsaba ran the #5 all-time mark in the 3000 metres of 8:19.08.[2]
