The 1991–92 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers 25th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Flyers hosted the 43rd NHL All-Star Game.

Prior to the 1991–92 season, the Flyers acquired Rod Brind'Amour from the St. Louis Blues. Brind'Amour would lead the Flyers in goals (33), assists (44), and points (77) in his first season with the club. With Ron Sutter gone to St. Louis in the Brind'Amour trade, Rick Tocchet was named team captain. As the Flyers continued to flounder, Paul Holmgren was fired midway through the season and replaced by Bill Dineen, father of Flyer Kevin Dineen. On February 19, the Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins made a major five-player deal which featured Tocchet — who never grew comfortably into the role of captain — heading to Pittsburgh and Mark Recchi coming to Philadelphia. Recchi recorded 27 points in his first 22 games as a Flyer, but the team missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year, due in large part to an awful road record (10–26–4).
