This is a list of members of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1991 to 1995, as elected at the 1991 state election:

1 The incumbent Liberal member for the seat of The Entrance, Bob Graham, was initially declared re-elected, but had his victory overturned by the Court of Disputed Returns on 11 December 1991 after a challenge from Labor candidate Grant McBride. McBride subsequently won the resulting by-election on 18 January 1992. 2 Davidson MLA Dr Terry Metherell was elected as a member of the Liberal Party, but resigned from the party on 29 October 1991. He served as an independent for several months before resigning from parliament on 10 April 1992 to take up an appointment in the public service, which ultimately sparked the Metherell affair and led to the demise of the Greiner government. He was replaced by Andrew Humpherson in the resulting by-election on 2 May. 3 Ku-ring-gai Liberal MLA and outgoing Premier Nick Greiner resigned on 24 June 1992. Liberal candidate Stephen O'Doherty won the resulting by-election on 22 August. 4 Gordon Liberal MLA Tim Moore resigned on 1 July 1992. Liberal candidate Jeremy Kinross won the resulting by-election on 22 August. 5 The Hills Liberal MLA Tony Packard resigned on 27 July 1993. Liberal candidate Michael Richardson won the resulting by-election on 28 August. 6 North Shore Liberal MLA Phillip Smiles resigned on 20 December 1993. Liberal candidate Jillian Skinner won the resulting by-election on 5 February 1994. 7 Vaucluse Liberal MLA Michael Yabsley resigned on 18 March 1994.

Labor candidate Reba Meagher won the resulting by-election on 22 October. 10 Georges River MLA Terry Griffiths was elected as a member of the Liberal Party of Australia, but resigned from the party on 29 October 1994, and served out the remainder of his term as an independent. 11 Blue Mountains Liberal MLA Barry Morris resigned on 14 December 1994. No by-election was held, as the 1995 state election was only five months away. 12 Peats Labor MLA Tony Doyle resigned on 20 December 1994 due to illness. He died three days later, on 23 December. No by-election was held due to the proximity of the 1995 state election.
