The 2021 Memorial Van Damme was the 45th edition of the annual track and field meeting in Brussels, Belgium. Held on 3 September at the King Baudouin Stadium, it was the thirteenth and penultimate leg of the 2021 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit. The discus throw events were held on 1 September, two days before the rest of the meeting. Although Memorial Van Damme and Weltklasse Zürich co-hosted the finals during the last full season in 2019, in 2021 the series moved to a single final in Zürich.O'Kane, Patrick (26 August 2021).

The meeting was highlighted by Sifan Hassan nearly breaking the mile run world record with a 4:14.74 winning time. Additionally, the meeting attracted attention as two women's events (5000 metres and 200 metres) were won by women with XY disorders of sex development, affected by World Athletics' regulations on testosterone levels.
