The 2021 USC Trojans baseball team represented the University of Southern California during the 2021 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Trojans played their home games for the 47th season at Dedeaux Field. The team was coached by Jason Gill in his 2nd season at USC.

Previous season

The Trojans began the 2020 season 10-5, good for a tie for third-place in the Pac-12 prior to the NCAA's decision to cancel the season on March 12 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the season's cancellation, all Division I college baseball players were granted an extra year of eligibility.[2]
