1991 NHL entry draft
General information
Date	June 22, 1991
Location	Memorial Auditorium Buffalo, New York, U.S.
Overview
264 total selections in 12 rounds
First selection	Eric Lindros (Quebec Nordiques)
Hall of Famers	3 C Eric Lindros D Scott Niedermayer C Peter Forsberg

The 1991 NHL entry draft was the 29th draft for the National Hockey League. It was held on June 22 at the Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo, New York. A total of 264 players were drafted. The worst team in the previous 1990–91 season, the Quebec Nordiques, was given the first overall pick while the expansion San Jose Sharks held the second overall pick.

The draft was famous for the controversy surrounding star first overall draft pick, touted by some observers to be The Next One, Eric Lindros, who was drafted by the Quebec Nordiques but immediately refused to sign a contract. What followed (in 1992) was one of the biggest trades in NHL history, which the Philadelphia Flyers used to acquire Lindros, in the process trading away future superstar Peter Forsberg.

The last active player in the NHL from this draft class was Ray Whitney, who retired after the 2013–14 season.
