The Yugoslav First Federal League's 1990/1991 season was the 63rd time the competition was contested. The title was won by Red Star Belgrade in dominating fashion, the club's 18th in its history. It also turned out to be the last season in which teams from SR Croatia and SR Slovenia participated. In 1991 these constituent republics declared their independence from Yugoslavia.
Two points were awarded for a win, while the tied matches were decided by a penalty shootout with the winner getting a point.
The first half of the season (the fall part) completed on December 19, 1990 with the postponed week 17 match in Split between Hajduk and Red Star. The second half of the season (the spring part) began on February 17, 1991.

The season featured a huge ethnically motivated incident during the Hajduk Split vs. FK Partizan tie on September 26, 1990 at Poljud Stadium, when a mob of hardcore Hajduk fans invaded the pitch in the middle of the match in an attempt to lynch Partizan players. All of the Partizan players ran for their lives into the dressing room, thus escaping unharmed. While chanting anti-Serb slogans, the violent mob then set fire to the Yugoslav flag that was displayed on the stadium's official mast. They then proceeded to raise the Croatian chequerboard flag (at the time not in official use and thus considered a Croatian nationalist symbol). Partizan was leading 2-0 at the time of the incident. The match was never resumed, and eventually registered 3-0 in Partizan's favour.
