2021 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's Super-G
The men's super-G in the 2021 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup consisted of six events, although seven had been originally scheduled. After midseason injuries to former discipline champions Aleksander Aamodt Kilde of Norway and Mauro Caviezel of Switzerland, Austrian skier Vincent Kriechmayr won the next two races and opened a huge lead in the discipline standings.

The course is set so that skiers must turn more than in downhill, though the speeds are still much higher than in giant slalom (hence the name). Each athlete only has one run to clock the best time. In the Olympics, super-G courses are usually set on the same slopes as the downhill, but with a lower starting point. History Super-G was run as a World Cup test event during the 1982 season, with two men's races and a women's race that did not count in the season standings.
