The 2021 Grand Prix La Marseillaise was the 42nd edition of the Grand Prix La Marseillaise cycle race. It was held on 31 January 2021 as a category 1.1 race on the 2021 UCI Europe Tour and the first event of the 2021 French Road Cycling Cup. The 171-kilometer route started and finished in Marseille and featured several climbs, notably the Route des Crêtes and the Col de la Gineste [fr] in the last 30 kilometers.[1]

Defending champion Benoît Cosnefroy of AG2R Citroën Team suffered a knee injury in training in mid-January and was forced to miss the race, but his teammate and French compatriot Aurélien Paret-Peintre won the race. The peloton was reduced to a small group of around 30 riders at the finish, and in the ensuing bunch sprint, Paret-Peintre, not generally known for his sprinting prowess, narrowly beat sprinters Thomas Boudat and Bryan Coquard in a photo finish.[2][3]
