The 2020–21 Ukrainian Cup was the 30th annual season of Ukraine's football knockout competition. The competition started on 26 August 2020 and concluded on 13 May 2021 with the final at the Ternopilsky Misky Stadion in Ternopil.

All competition rounds consisted of a single game with a home field advantage granted to a team from lower league. Draw for all the rounds was blind. Qualification for the competition was granted to all professional clubs and finalists of the 2019–20 Ukrainian Amateur Cup.

This season was the first, when two teams started the competition from the quarter-final stage: the defending winners (Dynamo Kyiv) and the champions of Ukraine of the previous season (Shakhtar Donetsk).

Dynamo Kyiv won their joint-record 13th Ukrainian Cup title after beating Zorya Luhansk 1–0 in extra time in the final. They therefore qualified to the play-off round of the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League, however they qualified for the Champions League through league season.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, access of spectators to stadium was limited, but was allowed to one of postponed games (matches) of the first preliminary round on 9 September 2020 at Slavutych Arena.
