The 2021–22 Aston Villa W.F.C. season was the club's 26th season under their Aston Villa affiliation, the organisation's 48th overall season in existence and their second season in the FA Women's Super League. Along with competing in the WSL, the club also contested two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.
On 20 May 2021, Carla Ward was named as manager having resigned as manager of WSL rivals Birmingham City a week earlier. She replaced interim manager Marcus Bignot and departing head coach Gemma Davies who were both sacked at the end of the previous season.
