The 2021 Trans–Tasman Hockey Series was a field hockey series, comprising four test matches between the national teams of Australia and New Zealand. The series was held at Massey University in Palmerston North, from 27 May to 1 June.[1]

Due to the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the series was the first time the two teams played an international match since March 2020, in their respective FIH Pro League matches.[2][3] The series was held simultaneously with a women's event.
