The 1891 Victorian Football Association season was the 15th season of the Australian rules football competition.

The premiership was won by the Essendon Football Club.

Teams did not play a uniform number of premiership matches during the season.

As such, in the final standings, each team's premiership points were adjusted upwards proportionally to represent a 22-match season; e.g., Essendon played 20 matches, so its tally of premiership points was increased by a factor of 22/20.

After this adjustment, there was no formal process for breaking a tie.
