The Sanremo Music Festival 2021 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 2021), officially the 71st Italian Song Festival (71º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 71st edition of the annual Sanremo Music Festival, a television song contest held in the Teatro Ariston of Sanremo, organised and broadcast by RAI. The show was held between 2 and 6 March 2021.^[1][2] The show was presented by Amadeus, who also served as the artistic director for the competition. Fiorello returned as co-host after appearing as a regular guest in the previous edition.^[2]

The festival was won by Måneskin with the song "Zitti e buoni"; their victory earned them the right to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021, which they went on to win as well. Gaudiano won the Newcomers' section with "Polvere da sparo".
