	Bentley Falcons men's ice hockey seasons; « 2019–20 2021–22 »

The 2020-21 Bentley Falcons men's ice hockey season was the 44th season of play for the program, the 22nd at the Division I level, and the 18th season in the Atlantic Hockey conference. The Falcons represented Bentley University and were coached by Ryan Soderquist, in his 19th season.

The start of the college hockey season was delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. As a result, Bentley's first scheduled game was in late-November as opposed to early-October, which was the norm.
