The 1992 Victorian Football Association season was the 111th season of the Australian rules football competition. The premiership was won by the Sandringham Football Club, after it defeated Williamstown in the Grand Final on 20 September by 44 points; it was Sandringham's fourth top-division premiership.

In the home-and-away season, each team played eighteen games; the top five then contested the finals under the McIntyre Final Five system. Finals were played at North Port Oval, and the Grand Final was played at Princes Park.

The Association played one interleague match, against the Victorian Country Football League, during the 1992 season. The match was played as a curtain-raiser to the state-of-origin match between Victoria and Western Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.Leon Harris (Werribee) was coach of the Association team and Tony Pastore (Williamstown) was captain; the VCFL was coached by Gerard FitzGerald, who two decades later became the all-time record holder for VFA/VFL premiership games coached.

During March, Dandenong and Werribee contested the Premiers Cup, a new (but ultimately once-off) sixteen-team knock-out competition featuring 1991 grand finalists from the VFA and the Victorian Amateur Football Association, and the premiers from twelve other suburban and major country football leagues in Victoria. The two Association teams faced each other in their semi-final, with Werribee victorious. Werribee then defeated future VFL club North Ballarat in the Grand Final, held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 28 March as a curtain-raiser to an Australian Football League match between Melbourne and Geelong; notably, it was the first football game played in front of the ground's newly constructed Great Southern Stand.
