The 21st Special Service Group (Abbr.: 21 SSG, Malay: 21 Gerup Gerak Khas, Jawi: ٢١ ڬروڤ ڬرق خاص‎), also known as the 21st Special Forces Group, serves as the command for the Malaysian Army's special forces, the Gerak Khas. Since 1985, 21 SSG has also been considered the 21st combat brigade within the Malaysian Army, which is reflected in its designation. Operating independently under the Malaysian Army, the unit reports directly to the Chief of Army. The headquarters of the 21 SSG are located at Camp Sri Iskandar in Mersing, Johor.

On 10 May 2024, Major General Ahmad Shuhaimi Mat Wajab assumed command of the 21 SSG, succeeding Major General Mohd Adi Ridzwan.
