The 2021 ANA Inspiration was the 50th ANA Inspiration golf tournament, held April 1–4, 2021 at the Dinah Shore Tournament Course of Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. It was its 39th year as a major championship on the LPGA Tour, and Golf Channel televised the event for the 11th consecutive year. The tournament was originally known as the Colgate-Dinah Shore Winner's Circle.

Patty Tavatanakit won her first LPGA Tour event by two strokes over Lydia Ko. Tavatanakit won the event wire-to-wire and became the first rookie to win the ANA Inspiration since Juli Inkster in 1984 and the fourth straight first-time major winner.[1]
