Miss Grand Liberia 2021 was the first edition of the Miss Grand Liberia pageant, held virtually on August 10, 2021, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Liberia. Nine candidates who qualified for the national final round through the online profile screening competed for the title, of whom a 24-year-old former Miss Mano River Union 2019 representing Montserrado, Goretti Itoka, was chosen the winner.

After winning the title, Itoka was set to compete at the Miss Grand International 2021 pageant in Thailand,  but she was later dethroned in September, and a United States-residing Liberian, Hajamaya Mulbah, was elected as the replacement;   however, Hajamaya was unplaced at the international stage.
