The 2021 Central Denmark regional election was held on November 16, 2021, to elect the 41 members to sit in the regional council for the Central Denmark Region, in the period of 2022 to 2025.

Ever since the creation of the 5 Danish regions in the 2007 Municipal reform, the Social Democrats has been the largest party and held the chairperson's seat for Central Denmark. Following the 2017 election, Anders Kühnau had won his first term as the new chairperson, taking over from Bent Hansen who had been the chairperson in the first three terms of the region. ^[1]

The election result saw both the traditional blocs with 20 seats. The single-issue party Psychiatry List could therefore become the possible kingmakers. However it was announced the next morning that multiple parties had given support for a second term for Anders Kühnau, the parties were the Social Democrats, Social Liberals, the Conservatives, Green Left, Christian Democrats, Psychiatry List and Red–Green Alliance. ^{[2] [3]}
