The 2021 Alabama legislative session began on February 2, 2021 and adjourned on May 30.

The make-up of the legislature was unchanged from the 2020 Alabama legislative session, having been set by the 2018 general election. The Alabama House of Representatives consisted of 76 Republican members and 28 Democrats, and was presided over by Speaker Mac McCutcheon. The Alabama State Senate had a 27-7 Republican majority, and was led by Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth.

Among the major issues taken up during the 2021 session were the legalization of medical cannabis, casino gambling, and at-home wine delivery. The legislature also modified the state's voting districts based on data from the 2020 U.S. Census.
