	← 2019; NAIA baseball tournament; 2022 →;

The 2021 NAIA baseball tournament was the 64th edition of the NAIA baseball championship. The 46-team tournament began on May 17 with Opening Round games across nine different sites and concluded with the 2021 NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho that began on May 28 and ended on June 3. Georgia Gwinnett defeated Central Methodist (MO) 8–4 in the championship game for their first title in program history. This was the most recent championship game(s) in which both teams would be vying for their first national title.

The 46 participating teams were selected from all eligible NAIA teams with the World Series host receiving an automatic bid to the NAIA World Series. The remaining 45 teams participated in the Opening Round with 30 teams being awarded automatic bids as either champions and/or runners-up of their conferences, and 15 teams were selected at-large by the National Selection Committee. Teams were then placed into one of nine pre-determined Opening Round sites of five teams a piece, each of which is conducted via a double-elimination tournament. The winners of each of the Opening Round sites plus the World Series host team participated in the NAIA World Series.

This would be the final year in which the team hosting the NAIA World Series would bypass the Opening Round and directly receive an automatic bid to the World Series.

Tournament procedure

A total of 46 teams entered the tournament. As World Series host, Lewis–Clark State received an automatic bid into the NAIA World Series. 30 automatic bids were determined by either winning their conference's regular season championship, conference tournament, and/or conference tournament runner-up. The other 15 bids were at-large, with selections determined by the NAIA Baseball National Selection Committee.

On May 3, the NAIA announced the nine opening round host sites, which were played from May 17–20.^[1]
