{{bots|deny=Citation bot}}<!--restricting page to simple cites to reduce load time-->
The following notable deaths occurred in 2021. Names are reported under the date of death, in alphabetical order as set out in [[WP:NAMESORT]]. A typical entry reports information in the following sequence:


{{R with history}}
* Name, age, country of citizenship at birth, subsequent [[nationality]] (if applicable), what subject was noted for, cause of death (if known), and reference.
{{R to section}}

<!--Please check to see if someone is already listed before listing them-->
<!--
* * * * * * * Please adhere to the guidelines below when adding a name to this article. * * * * * * *
A typical entry reports information in the following sequence: Name, age, country of citizenship at birth or nationality if the subject is not eligible (for example, in the case of animals), subsequent nationality (if applicable), what subject was noted for, cause of death (if known), and reference. Names are reported under the date of death. Names under each date are reported in alphabetical order by surname or pseudonym.

(1) Please add only those meeting Wikipedia notability guidelines. Include a reference to a reliable source.[a] [b] If a Wikipedia article for the dead does not yet exist, reconsider whether the subject is actually notable. If so, consider writing an article yourself. Those without a Wikipedia article are removed after one month.

(2) Please understand that the intent of this article is to report notable deaths. Tragic deaths, while unfortunate, do not necessarily render the dead "notable". If you report the death of a notable subject that does not already have a Wikipedia article, consider starting one.

(3) Please add entries in alphabetical order by family name. Please avoid over-linking. As such, please do not add links to nationalities, common occupations, or common causes of death. Rather, include only "links that aid navigation and understanding". Thank you.

(4) References should be in <ref>[url & title]</ref> format, as full citations make the page too slow to load, and too big to edit.

(5) Please do not move deaths from the previous month until the 8th of current month.
--Notes--
[a] See [[WP:RS]] for definition of reliable source, and [[WP:BLPSOURCE]] for living and recently deceased persons.
[b] For information on using information from Ancestry.com, Find-a-grave, or IMDb, please see [[WP:ELPEREN]].
