The 1991–92 Kent Football League season (known as the Winstonlead Kent League for sponsorship reasons) was the 26th in the history of the Kent Football League, a football competition in England, featuring clubs from Kent and the adjacent area.

The League structure comprised two divisions: Division One and Division Two with the latter known as the Reserves Section (reserves teams were not permitted in Division One). Additionally there were two league cup competitions: the Challenge Cup for the Division One clubs and another for the teams in Division Two.
