# Campionat del Món d'atletisme de 1991

El tercer campionat del Món d'atletisme, organitzat per l'Associació Internacional de Federacions d'Atletisme, es va celebrar l'estadi Olímpic de Tòquio (Japó), del 23 d'agost a l'1 de setembre.
Aquesta competició és recordada per damunt de tot per la competició masculina de salt de llargada, en la qual Carl Lewis va fer la millor sèrie de sis salts de la història, però que va ser derrotat per Mike Powell, que va saltar 8,95 metres i va batre el rècord del món que Bob Beamon tenia des dels Jocs Olímpics de 1968.
