The Triton 21, also called the Pearson 21, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Clark Scarborough as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1985.

The Triton 21 design was developed from the US Yachts US 21 in 1984, after Pearson Yachts bought the US Yachts line of boats, including the molds from Bayliner.
