The 1991 Chicago Bears season was their 72nd regular season and 21st postseason completed in the National Football League. The Bears returned to the playoffs for a second consecutive season as one of three NFC Wild Cards, finishing with an 11-5 record and in second place in the NFC Central. They were beaten, however, by the Dallas Cowboys in their first playoff game. This was Mike Ditka's last playoff game as a head coach.
