General elections were held on the Isle of Man on the 21 November 1991 to elect members to the island's lower house: the House of Keys. Independents dominated and won 21 of the 24 seats, whilst the Manx Labour Party once again won 3 seats.

Following the general election a vote was held in Tynwald to elect the Chief Minister, with 23 members voting for the continuation of Miles Walker's government, and 10 voting for Edgar Mann. Five of those opposed to the Walker administration agreed to form the Alternative Policy Group with Mann as their leader, this was intended to function as an official opposition to the government, promoting greater autonomy for the island and more government accountability.

Results

*2 candidates from the Isle of Man Green Party contested seats in this election, however their vote share was small (both lost their deposits) and their identities are unknown, so their vote shares are included in the 'Independents' results.
