Intel Extreme Masters Fall 2021 Europe (IEM Fall 2021 EU) was a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO) tournament organized by German company ESL and sponsored by American corporation Intel. Part of the sixteenth season of Intel Extreme Masters and one of the six events under the IEM Fall 2021 tournament, the event was used by Valve as the final Regional Major Ranking (RMR) event, to determine the participants of the PGL Major Stockholm 2021. Twenty-four teams competed for a US$105,000 prize pool, eleven spots at the major and for 2015 ESL Pro Tour Points, used by the organizer to determine the participants of its two main events each year—IEM Katowice and Cologne.

The event was preceded by four qualifier events starting on August 28, which culminated in the Closed qualifier on September 18, determining the final twelve participants for event. The event started on September 29, with the group stage, where the teams were split equal between four groups. The two best performing teams of each group advanced to the quarterfinals. The final saw Swedish team Ninjas in Pyjamas (NIP) overpower European squad ENCE, 3–1. NIP's Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz, was named the MVP by both HLTV and ESL.
