The 2021 Shropshire Council election took place on 6 May 2021 as part of the 2021 United Kingdom local elections. All 74 councillors were elected from 63 electoral divisions which return either one, two or three councillors each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office.

Though the Conservatives maintained their majority on the council, there was a major shock result that saw the incumbent Conservative leader of the council, Peter Nutting, lose his seat to a Liberal Democrat challenger.[1] He was replaced as leader of the council by Conservative Lezley Picton at the AGM held later that month.[2]
Following the last election in 2017, the composition of the council was:[3]
| 49 | 12 | 8 | 3 | 1 | 1 | |
| Conservative | Lib Dem | Labour | I | G | H |
After the election, the composition of the council was:
| 43 | 14 | 9 | 4 | 4 | |
| Conservative | Lib Dem | Labour | I | G |
Karen Calder was previously elected as a Conservative.
