The 1991 World Touring Car Masters season was the fourth season of the FIA World Touring Car Masters. The season was the first to be competed under the FIA's new Super Touring ruleset. Manuel Reuter entered the season as defending champion.

After a heavily contested season between Vauxhall, Toyota and BMW, independent driver Silvio Bachot came out on top aboard his BMW E30 M3 Evo. With his six wins, he became the first independent driver to win the overall WTCM title.
