The 2021–22 Combined Counties Football League season (known as the 2021–22 Cherry Red Records Combined Counties Football League for sponsorship reasons) was the 44th in the history of the Combined Counties Football League, a football competition in England. Teams were divided for the first time into three divisions: the Premier North, the Premier South and the First.

The new Premier Division North consists of 18 clubs. Seven of these participated in the old Premier Division last season, and were joined by 11 new clubs:
