The 2021–22 Northern Counties East Football League season was the 40th in the history of Northern Counties East Football League, a football competition in England. The allocations for the league this season were announced by The Football Association (The FA) on 18 May 2021. After the abandonment of the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England, numerous promotions were decided on a points per game basis over the previous two seasons.
