The 1921 Georgia Bulldogs football team represented the University of Georgia during the 1921 college football season. This was the team's second season under the guidance of head coach Herman Stegeman. The Bulldogs had a 7–2–1 record,[1] and were also co-champion of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association[citation needed]: co-champions Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt were also undefeated. Vanderbilt tied Georgia with an onside kick in their game which decided conference title.[2] The Bulldogs' only two losses came against two of the football powerhouses of the day, Eastern schools Harvard and Dartmouth.

All season, not a single team scored through its line, which was the greatest in the South,[3] and featured four All-Southern players.[4] Guard Hugh Whelchel was selected a third-team All-American by Walter Camp.
