The 2021–22 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating was a series of senior international competitions organized by the International Skating Union that were held from October 2021 through December 2021. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters earned points based on their placements at each event and the top six in each discipline qualified to compete at the Grand Prix Final in Osaka, Japan, although the Grand Prix Final was ultimately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The corresponding series for junior-level skaters was the 2021–22 ISU Junior Grand Prix.
Schedule The Chinese Skating Association informed the ISU that they could no longer host the Cup of China due to travel restrictions and quarantine requirements related to the COVID-19 pandemic and cancelled the event on August 16, 2021. The Gran Premio d'Italia was announced as the replacement on August 27, 2021.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Grand Prix Final was cancelled on December 2, 2021, with the possibility of a postponement, before it was definitively cancelled on December 17, 2021.
