The 2021–22 Pro A season, known as Betclic Élite due to sponsorship from online gambling company Betclic, was the 100th season of the Pro A, the top basketball league in France organised by the Ligue Nationale de Basket (LNB). The regular season began on 1 October 2021 and the play-offs finished on 25 June 2022. Via promotion and relegation with LNB Pro B, Fos Provence Basket (Fos-sur-mer) and Paris Basketball joined the league, replacing Élan Chalon and Boulazac Basket Dordogne.

LDLC ASVEL won its 20th league championship by defeating AS Monaco in the final.
