2021 PBA Governors' Cup

The 2021 PBA Governors' Cup, also known as the 2021 Honda PBA Governors' Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the second and last conference of the 2021 PBA season of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). The 20th edition of the Governors' Cup began on December 8, 2021, after the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) approved the league's request, and ended on April 22, 2022. The tournament allows teams to hire foreign players or imports with a height limit of .

This was the first import-laced tournament held by the league since the 2019 PBA Governors' Cup.

For the first two weeks of the tournament, the league returned to the Ynares Sports Arena with no audience in the venue. Quezon City then gave the permission for sports events to be held there with spectators; the PBA is expected to play at the Araneta Coliseum for the rest of the tournament starting December 15.

On January 3, 2022, the league postponed its scheduled games from January 5 to 9 after Metro Manila was put on Alert Level 3 due to the rising COVID-19 cases. The tournament was subsequently postponed indefinitely on January 6. The tournament resumed on February 11 after the alert level in Metro Manila was downgraded to Alert Level 2. The games were temporarily moved to the Ynares Center from February 23 to 27 as the Araneta Coliseum was used for the February window of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification.
