The 2021 Emilia Romagna motorcycle Grand Prix (officially known as the Gran Premio Nolan del Made in Italy e dell'Emilia-Romagna) was the sixteenth round of the 2021 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It was held at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli in Misano Adriatico on 24 October 2021.

The VR46 team unveiled a special livery that was used by Marco Bezzecchi and Celestino Vietti in the Moto2 class, as well as Luca Marini in the MotoGP premier class. Sky Racing Team VR46, which usually wears black and blue livery, has now completely changed to yellow with Grazie Vale writing on the side of the bike. This was done as a form of respect for Valentino Rossi who decided to retire at the end of the 2021 season.^[1]

In the MotoGP class, Fabio Quartararo became the first French rider to win the MotoGP World Championship after main rival Francesco Bagnaia crashed out of the lead with five laps to go, clinching the championship with two rounds to spare after having an unassailable 62-points-lead over Bagnaia.

In the Moto3 class, Red Bull KTM Ajo won their first Teams' Championship and third across all classes. It was their second championship for 2021 after having won the Moto2 Teams' Championship during the Aragon race.
