The 2021 State of the Nation Address (SONA) of the Philippines was delivered by then-President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on July 26, 2021, at the Batasang Pambansa Complex in Quezon City, Metro Manila. This was President Duterte's sixth and final SONA before the end of his presidential term in 2022.

The address covered a range of topics, including the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, economic recovery efforts, infrastructure development under the "Build, Build, Build" program, the fight against illegal drugs, efforts to combat corruption, peace and order, national security, and foreign policy. The SONA served as an opportunity for the President to report to the Filipino people and the Congress on the state of the country and to outline the administration's priorities for the remaining months of his term. Key issues addressed included the status of the vaccination program, the impact of the pandemic on various sectors, and the progress made on legislative agenda items. The address was broadcast live on television, radio, and online platforms. It was followed by public reaction and analysis from political analysts, economists, and other stakeholders.
