The 1991–92 Los Angeles Clippers season was their 22nd season in the NBA, their 8th in Los Angeles. During the offseason, the Clippers acquired Doc Rivers from the Atlanta Hawks and James Edwards from the Detroit Pistons. The Clippers got off to a strong start with Danny Manning and Ron Harper were healthy and leading a young Clippers team to a 14–10 start. However, they would struggle over the next few weeks sliding back below .500 with a 22–25 record as head coach Mike Schuler was fired and replaced by Larry Brown, who resigned as coach of the San Anonio Spurs a few weeks earlier.

Under Brown, the Clippers won 23 of their final 35 games to finish fifth in the Pacific Division with a 45–37 record. Making their first playoff appearance since the 1975–76 season when they were known as the Buffalo Braves, and ending a fifteen-year playoff drought. In the first round of the playoffs, they lost in five games to the Utah Jazz.

Following the season, Rivers was traded along with Charles Smith and Bo Kimble to the New York Knicks, Edwards signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers, and Olden Polynice was dealt to the Detroit Pistons.
