The 2021 FIBA Women's Asia Cup Division A was the 29th edition of the tournament, held from 27 September to 3 October 2021 in Amman, Jordan.[1] The tournament was originally set to be hosted by India.[2][3] It served as the Asian and Oceanian qualification for the 2022 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Australia, where the top four teams qualified for one of the qualifying tournaments.

Japan won their sixth title after beating China in the final.[4] Australia captured the bronze medal by defeating South Korea.[5]

The Division B tournament will be held also in the same venue from 7 to 13 November, with 6 teams participating, including the host country.[6][7]
