During the 1991–92 English football season, Everton F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.

Season summary The summer of 1991 saw the departure of Everton hero Graeme Sharp, but the attack was bolstered by Peter Beardsley signed from Liverpool, Mo Johnston signed from Rangers while Alan Harper and Mark Ward also returned.

Despite these changes to the squad, in the 1991–92 season Everton continued to deteriorate, finishing 12th - their lowest finish for more than a decade.
