21st Street South is a one-way north street running through Birmingham's Southside. The street begins as part of Richard Arrington, Jr Boulevard, branching away from 20th Street South at 16th Avenue South and continuing downhill across Highland Avenue and University Boulevard as far as the middle of the Rainbow Viaduct over the Railroad Reservation. Richard Arrington, Jr Boulevard continues north from there as the former 21st Street North.

Another one-block section of 21st Street South connects 20th and 21st Avenue South near Mountain Brook's English Village.

The southwest corner of Valley Avenue and 21st Street begins the Homewood city limits on the west side of the street. The Birmingham city limits continue south on the east side until a point approximately midway between Valley Avenue and Rosedale Drive, where they again abut the Homewood city limits.
