Chairperson before election Stephanie Lose Venstre Chairperson after election Stephanie Lose Venstre

The 2021 Southern Denmark Regional election was held on November 16, 2021, to elect the 41 members to sit in the regional council for the Central Denmark Region, in the period of 2022 to 2025.

The four previous elections held in the region had all resulted in Venstre winning the chairperson position, being the only region where the party always had held that position. Following the 2017 election, Stephanie Lose would have her first full term as the chairperson. .

In this election, Venstre got their best result to date in the region, winning 39.2% of the vote. This result was unlike most elections in the 2021 Danish local elections, where Venstre decreased their vote share. Stephanie Lose ended up with a record-high 147,486 personal votes. This number was equal to 23.2% of all votes cast, and was the highest number of personal votes ever received in a Danish regional election.

It was later announced that Stephanie Lose would continue as chairperson of the Region.
