The 2021–22 Eredivisie Vrouwen was the twelfth season of the Netherlands women's professional football league. Defending champions Twente won the league title for the third time in a row. The season saw Feyenoord entering the league, which expanded to nine teams. Feyenoord's final home game of the season, against AFC Ajax, attracted 14,618 fans, more than four times any other match in the season.
Twente's Fenna Kalma, the top goal scorer for the season, was named the Women's Eredivisie Player of the Year. Her teammate Wieke Kaptein was named Talent of the Year.
Format The league changed its format, dropped the split-season scheduling used for several years. All nine teams played each teams three times. Because of the odd number of teams, one team had a bye each round. The league stated that the change was to increase the number of games each team played and reduce the gap between the Eredivisie and top foreign women's leagues. The top two teams qualified for the UEFA Women's Champions League.
