This book constitutes the proceedings of the 32nd International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms which was planned to take place in Ottawa, ON, Canada, in July 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference changed to a virtual format.

The 38 full papers included in this book together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 107 submissions. They focus on algorithms design for the myriad of combinatorial problems that underlie computer applications in science, engineering and business.
