The 2021 Rey de Reyes (Spanish for "2021 King of Kings") was a professional wrestling tournament and supercard event produced by the Mexican Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) promotion. It was held on May 1, 2021 in San Pedro Cholula, Puebla, Mexico at an unannounced location. The event was originally scheduled to be held at the Poliforum Zamna in Merida, Yucatan on March 21, 2020. However, on March 13, AAA announced that they were postponing the 2020 Rey de Reyes show due to COVID-19 precautions.[1]

The 2021 event was the 24th Rey de Reyes show and tournament, the first since 2019. In the main event match, Psycho Clown and Pagano wrestled Chessman and the debuting Sam Adonis to a no contest. In other prominent matches, Taurus won a three-way match for the vacant AAA Latin American Championship, Faby Apache won a six-way match for the vacant Reina de Reinas Championship, and Laredo Kid won the 2021 Rey de Reyes tournament.

Impact Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo appeared on commentary during the event and former WWE wrestler Andrade made his AAA debut, challenging Mega Champion Kenny Omega to a match at Triplemanía XXIX.
