The 2021 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Governors' Cup finals (or PBA Season 46 Governors' Cup finals) was the best-of-7 championship series of the 2021 PBA Governors' Cup, and the conclusion of the conference's playoffs. The playoffs were delayed into 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[1][2]

The Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and the Meralco Bolts competed for the 20th Governors' Cup championship and the 130th overall championship contested by the league. This was the fourth time that Barangay Ginebra and Meralco competed for the Governors' Cup championship in the span of six seasons. Barangay Ginebra won the three previous championships against Meralco in 2016, 2017, and 2019. Barangay Ginebra defeated Meralco in six games to win their fourth Governors' Cup title in five seasons. They are the lowest-seeded team since the San Miguel Beermen in the 2019 Commissioner's Cup to win a PBA title.^[3] Scottie Thompson was named the finals' MVP.^[4]

Prior to the game, Barangay Ginebra's Scottie Thompson was awarded his first Best Player of the Conference award,^[5] and Barangay Ginebra import and Thompson's teammate Justin Brownlee was awarded the Best Import of the Conference award for the second time.^[6]

The game was initially scheduled on April 20, 2022, at Smart Araneta Coliseum, but was later postponed to April 22 as fire broke out in one area of the arena during the preliminary round of the 2021 PBA 3x3 season – Second conference Grand Finals earlier in the day.^[7][8]
