1991 in Lithuanian football was the first season of competitive association football in Lithuania as an independent nation since regaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1990.

The Lithuanian Football Federation (LFF) organised three football leagues: A Lyga (the highest), 1 Lyga (second-tier), and 2 Lyga (third-tier), which comprises several zones. 1991 was a transitional year: it was decided to adopt western fall-spring model. Therefore, the season lasted only one round from March to June. Prior to that there were the 1990 Baltic League and the 1990 Lithuanian Top League.
