# 6 uur van Bahrein 2021

De 6 uur van Bahrein 2021 was de vijfde race van het FIA World Endurance Championship-seizoen 2021. De race werd verreden op 30 oktober 2021 op het Bahrain International Circuit nabij Sakhir, Bahrein. De race stond oorspronkelijk niet op de kalender, maar werd gehouden als vervanger van de 6 uur van Fuji, die door de reisbeperkingen rondom de coronapandemie niet door kon gaan. Het was de eerste keer dat er in een WEC-seizoen twee races in een land werden georganiseerd; de 8 uur van Bahrein werd een week later gehouden.
De race werd gewonnen door de Toyota Gazoo Racing #7 van Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi en José María López. De LMP2-klasse werd gewonnen door de Team WRT #31 van Robin Frijns, Ferdinand Habsburg en Charles Milesi. De LMP2 Pro-Am-klasse werd gewonnen door de United Autosports USA #29 van Frits van Eerd, Giedo van der Garde en Job van Uitert. De LMGTE Pro-klasse werd gewonnen door de Porsche GT Team #92 van Kévin Estre en Neel Jani. De LMGTE Am-klasse werd gewonnen door de TF Sport #33 van Felipe Fraga, Ben Keating en Dylan Pereira.
