The 1991–92 season was Leeds United A.F.C.'s 73rd season in their history, their 37th in the top tier of English football and their 2nd consecutive and final season in the Football League First Division before its rebranding as the FA Premier League.

Season summary

Having finished fourth the previous season, this time round Leeds clinched the First Division title, ahead of archrivals Manchester United, in only their second consecutive season as First Division club. As champions of the Football League, United qualified for the European Cup, which would be rebranded as the UEFA Champions League for the next season. They lost just four league games all season, were held to 1-1 draws by Manchester United (who also knocked them out of both domestic cups) and clinched the title in the penultimate game of the season with a 3-2 win at Sheffield United. The winning goal that day was scored by striker Rod Wallace, who had joined Leeds the previous summer from Southampton.
