The 2021–22 Los Angeles Kings season was the 55th season (54th season of play) for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967. On April 26, 2022, the Kings clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2018 after the Dallas Stars defeated the Vegas Golden Knights in a shootout. They were defeated in the first round of the playoffs by the Edmonton Oilers, in seven games.

During the season, the Kings' home arena Staples Center changed its name to Crypto.com Arena, effective December 25, 2021, as part of a new naming rights agreement. This season marked Dustin Brown's last, as he announced on April 28, 2022 his intention to retire following the playoffs. In addition, it is also the last full season that longtime goaltender Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Quick, who was traded on March 1, 2023, to the Columbus Blue Jackets and then to the Vegas Golden Knights the following day.
