The 2021 Rolex Paris Masters was a professional tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts. It was the 49th edition of the tournament, and a Masters 1000 event on the 2021 ATP Tour. It was held at the Palais omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris, France, between 1 and 7 November 2021.
The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on ATP rankings as of October 25, 2021. Rank and points before are as of November 1, 2021.
Because the 2020 tournament was non-mandatory, players are defending points from that tournament only if they counted towards their 19 best results as of November 1, 2021. Points from the 2019 tournament were dropped on November 1, 2021, and are accordingly not shown separately in the table.
Points from the ATP Finals (the greater of the 2019 and 2020 editions) will also be dropped at the end of the tournament. These points will not be replaced by other results.
† The player is not defending points from the 2020 tournament. Accordingly, his 19th best result is shown in this column instead.
^ Because the 2021 tournament is non-mandatory, the player substituted his 19th best result in place of the points won in this tournament.
