The 2021 Virginia House of Delegates election will be held on November 2, 2021 to coincide with biennial elections in the U.S. state of Virginia. All 100 Delegates are elected to two-year terms in single-member constituencies. Primary elections are scheduled for June 8.[1]This election will coincide with the Virginia gubernatorial, lieutenant gubernatorial, and Attorney General elections. The upper house of the Virginia General Assembly, the Senate of Virginia, will hold its next election on November 7, 2023.

As a result, control of the Virginia House of Delegates flipped to Democratic control for the first time since 1999.[2] Following obtaining control of the chamber, House Democrats elected Eileen Filler-Corn as Speaker making her the first female Speaker in the history of the Virginia House of Delegates.[3]
