# Campionat del Món de motociclisme de 1991

La temporada de 1991 del Campionat del món de motociclisme fou la 43a edició d'aquest campionat, organitzat per la FIM. Els anys 90 foren l'època daurada del motociclisme de velocitat i aquella temporada es va caracteritzar com les anteriors per la rivalitat entre Wayne Rainey i Kevin Schwantz, on també se sumava Mick Doohan. Per altra banda, Eddie Lawson, amb Cagiva, quedava una mica per sota dels anteriors, tot i fer un paper destacable. En les altres categories hi hagué victòries italianes, mentre que pels pilots catalans no hi hagué cap paper destacable a part de Joan Garriga, sempre darrere dels millors, i Carles Cardús, amb una tercera plaça en el campionat.
