The '''21st century''' is the century that began on [[1 January]] [[20002001]] and will last to [[31 December]] [[20992100]]. Frequently common usage regards the 21st century as spanning [[2000]] to [[2099]], though this method of counting ignores the fact that there was no year 0.

In [[2000]] the [[International Organization for Standardization|International Organization for Standardization (ISO)]] implicitly backed the common usage by defining a calendar that places the origin of the counting in a Year Zero.
