Paris's 21st constituency was one of the 21 French National Assembly constituencies in the Paris department in the period 1988 to 2012.

Between 1988, the year of the first elections after the end of proportional representation,[1] and the redistribution of constituencies carried out in 2010, the constituency covered[2] three districts of the 20th arrondissement: Charonne, Saint-Fargeau and part of Père-Lachaise located to the south of a line defined by the axis of avenue Gambetta, rue de la Bidassoa and rue Villiers-de-L'Isle-Adam.

It was abolished in the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies, which reduced the number of constituencies in Paris to 18. Most of the area of the 1988-2012 21st constituency moved to the new fifteenth constituency, ceding part of the Père-Lachaise and Charonne districts respectively to the new sixth and eighth constituencies.
