The 1991–92 DFB-Pokal was the 49th season of the annual German football cup competition.
After the German reunification in 1990 the football association of eastern Germany, Nordostdeutscher Fußballverband, joined the German Football Association (DFB) on 21 November 1990.
Football clubs from eastern Germany thus participated for the first time in the DFB-Pokal.
Second tier Hannover 96 defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 4–3 on penalties after 120 goalless minutes.
[1] This remains the only time that the cup was won by a team outside the Bundesliga.
