Return to Earth 91–93 is a compilation album from Californian stoner rockers Fu Manchu on Elastic Records, featuring drummer Ruben Romano (Nebula) and lead guitarist Scott Votaw, Mark Absire on bass guitar and Scott Hill on guitar and vocals. The album is a collection of three earlier singles released in 1992 with two additional songs. Fu Manchu's first vocalist, Glen Chivens, wrote some of the songs with current vocalist Scott Hill. The album has more of a gritty and punk edge to it than their later albums.

Tracks 1 and 7 originally appeared on the "Don't Bother Knockin' (If This Van's Rockin')" single. Tracks 2, 4 and 8 originally appeared on the "Senioritis" single. Tracks 3 and 9 originally appeared on the "Pick-Up Summer" single. An alternative version of track 5 ("Ojo Rojo") appears on No One Rides for Free. "Simco" was previously unreleased.
