The 2021–22 Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers women's basketball team represented Mount St. Mary's University in the 2021–22 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Mountaineers, led by first-year head coach Antoine White, played their home games at Knott Arena in Emmitsburg, Maryland as members of the Northeast Conference (NEC).
On May 2, 2022, it was announced that the Mountaineers will join the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) on July 1, 2022, leaving the NEC where they had been members since 1989.
They finished the season 16–13 overall, and 11–7 in NEC play, to finish in third place. As the third seed in the NEC tournament they received a bye into the quarterfinals where they defeated St. Francis (PA). In the semifinals they defeated fourth seed Wagner to reach the finals where they defeated seventh seed Bryant to earn the tournament title. The title was the fifth in program history, and second in a row. They received an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as tournament champions. They were seeded as one of the sixteen seeds in the Bridgeport Region. They played a First Four matchup with Longwood, which they lost to end their season.
