Election to the Parliament of Sweden (Swedish: Sveriges riksdag) was held on 15 September 1991. The election, like all parliamentary elections in Sweden, was conducted using a party-list proportional representation system.
The election was notable due to the rise of a new right-wing party named New Democracy (Sweden) which succeeded in securing a parliamentary mandate for the first (and last) time. The four parties of the centre-right coalition (the Centre Party, People's Party, Moderate Party, and Christian Democrats) were allocated a combined total of 171 seats, 17 more than the two left-wing parties' 154, but still less than the 175 necessary for a majority. Thus the centre-right bloc was dependent upon New Democracy to secure a parliamentary majority.
