The 2021 World Aquatics Championships — 19th FINA World Aquatics Championships will be held in Fukuoka, Japan in 2021. It will be the second time Fukuoka hosts this meet, 20 years after the 2001 World Aquatics Championships. The year before the championships, the 2020 Summer Olympics will also be held in Japan, hosted by Tokyo.

The competitions originally were to be held in Budapest, Hungary, in the summer of 2021. This was announced on July 19, 2013, on the biennial General Congress of FINA in Barcelona, the host-city of the 2013 World Aquatics Championships. Also Gwangju, South Korea, was awarded the 2019 Championships in the same vote.

However, in March 2015, it was announced that Budapest will host the 2017 Championships, after that Guadalajara gave up the organization of the championships for financial reasons. A new bidding procedure was opened for the 2021 event.

On 9 June 2015, the FINA reported it had received expressions of interest for the 2021 and 2023 FINA World Championships from Argentina, Australia (with Melbourne or Sydney), China (with Wuhan or Nanjing), Germany (two potential cities), Japan, Turkey and Qatar. On 30 June 2015, an information meeting was organised for the nations and cities which have shown an interest in bidding before. This meeting was attended by representatives of cities from six countries:

In January 31 2016, each of the bids was presented at a formal presentation to, and vote of, the FINA Bureau meeting in Budapest; they then announced the hosts of the 2021 and 2023 championships.

Most of the competitions will be held at the Marine Messe, built for the 1995 Summer Universiade, also hosted in Fukuoka.
