The 2021 Festival Luxembourgeois du cyclisme féminin Elsy Jacobs (known as the Ceratizit Festival Elsy Jacobs for sponsorship reasons) was a women's road cycling stage race that was held in Luxembourg from 30 April to 2 May 2021. It was the 13th edition of the Festival Elsy Jacobs and the first as a category 2.Pro event in the UCI Women's ProSeries after its promotion after the 2019 season and the cancellation of the 2020 edition of the race.
Teams Eight of the nine UCI Women's WorldTeams and ten UCI Women's Continental Teams made up the eighteen teams that participated the race. Each team entered a full squad of six riders, but two riders had to pull out prior to the start of the race. This left 106 riders who started the race, of which 67 finished.
