1990–91 QMJHL season
The 1990–91 QMJHL season was the 22nd season in the history of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

The Chicoutimi Saguenéens finished first overall in the regular season, winning their first Jean Rougeau Trophy, backstopped by Goaltender of the Year and Playoff MVP, Felix Potvin. Chicoutimi won its first President's Cup, defeating the Drummondville Voltigeurs in four games.
