The 2021–22 Indiana Pacers season was the 55th season of the franchise and the 46th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). After the Pacers failed to make the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2015, Nate Bjorkgren was fired on June 9, 2021.^[1]^[2] The Pacers would later re-hire Rick Carlisle back as the new head coach, reuniting him with the Pacers for their second stint after coaching the team from 2003 to 2007 after coaching 13 seasons with the Dallas Mavericks.^[3] The Pacers missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season which would be the first time since 2007–10 that they missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons.

During the trade deadline, the Pacers acquired Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield in a deal surrounding Domantas Sabonis. The team also acquired the services of Jalen Smith. Standout rookie Chris Duarte was selected to the 2022 NBA All-Rookie Second Team. This season also welcomed back fan–favorite and former Pacer Lance Stephenson for a third stint with the franchise.
