The 2021 Jack's Casino World Series of Darts Finals was the seventh staging of the World Series of Darts Finals tournament, organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. The tournament took place at AFAS Live, Amsterdam, Netherlands, from 29 to 31 October 2021. It featured a field of 24 players.[1]

Gerwyn Price was the defending champion, after beating Rob Cross 11–9 in the 2020 final,[2] but lost to compatriot Jonny Clayton in the quarter-finals.

Clayton went on to win the title, defeating Dimitri Van den Bergh 11–6 in the final.[3]

This was the first time the tournament had taken place without any representatives from outside Europe.
