John Peers and Filip Polá?ek defeated Aslan Karatsev and Andrey Rublev in the final, 6-3, 7-6^(7-5) to win the men's doubles tennis title at the 2021 Indian Wells Masters.^[1]

Nikola Mekti? and Horacio Zeballos were the reigning champions from when the tournament was last held in 2019,^[2] but chose to compete with different partners. Mekti? played alongside Mate Pavi?, but lost to Peers and Polá?ek in the quarterfinals. Zeballos played alongside Marcel Granollers, but lost to Fabio Fognini and Lorenzo Sonego in the first round.

Mekti? usurped his doubles partner Pavi? for the ATP No. 1 doubles ranking after the event, as the latter dropped points related to the 2019 Shanghai Masters.
