The 49th Annual Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, were presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), honoring the best in U.S. daytime television programming in 2021. The winners were revealed on June 18, 2022, at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California, while the nominations were announced alongside the main ceremony categories on May 5, 2022.

In December 2021, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS) and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) announced a major realignment of the Emmy Award ceremonies, among them was the creation of the Children's & Family Emmy Awards, rewarding children's programming and animation, hence, these categories will no longer be a part of the Daytime Creative Arts Award.

American home improvement media brand This Old House received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
