The West Indies cricket team toured Bangladesh in January and February 2021 to play two Tests and three One Day International (ODI) matches. The Test series formed part of the inaugural 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship and the ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.
On 29 December 2020, Cricket West Indies announced their squads for the tour, with Kraigg Brathwaite and Jason Mohammed named as captains for the Test and ODI matches respectively. Regular Test and ODI captains Jason Holder and Kieron Pollard were two of ten players who opted not to travel due to COVID-19 concerns or personal reasons. Shakib Al Hasan was named in Bangladesh's ODI squad, after serving a year-long ban for failing to report a corrupt approach.
The first ODI saw seven cricketers make their debut in the format, six of them for the West Indies. Bangladesh won the opening match by six wickets, with more than 16 overs to spare. Bangladesh won the second ODI by seven wickets to take an unassailable lead in the series. Bangladesh won the third and final ODI by 120 runs, taking the series 3–0.
The West Indies won the first Test by three wickets, with Kyle Mayers scoring an unbeaten double century on debut. The West Indies also won the second Test, by 17 runs, to take the series 2–0.
