The 2021 German Masters (officially the 2021 BildBet German Masters) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place from 27 to 31 January 2021. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was staged at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes. The tournament was the eighth ranking event of the 2020–21 snooker season. It was the 15th edition of the German Masters, first held in 1995 as the 1995 German Open. Shaun Murphy made the sixth maximum break of his career in the first qualifying round against Chen Zifan.

The event featured a prize fund of £400,000 with £80,000 given to the winner. It was sponsored for the first time by BildBet, a subsidiary company created by BetVictor in collaboration with the local newspaper Bild. Despite the different name, the tournament was part of the BetVictor European Series.

Judd Trump was the defending champion after defeating Neil Robertson 9–6 in the 2020 final. Trump met Jack Lisowski in the final, a repeat of the previous ranking event final, the World Grand Prix. It was the first time that the same two players had met in successive ranking event finals since John Higgins and Steve Davis met in the Welsh Open and International Open finals at the start of 1995. Trump won by 9 frames to 2, becoming the first player ever to successfully defend the title.
