The 1991–92 Milwaukee Bucks season was the 24th season for the Milwaukee Bucks in the National Basketball Association. During the off-season, the Bucks signed free agent and former All-Star forward Moses Malone. After an 8–9 start to the regular season, head coach Del Harris resigned and was replaced with interim Frank Hamblen.
Under Hamblen, the Bucks played around .500 in winning percentage for the first half of the season, holding a 22–24 record at the All-Star break. However, their glory days came to a crashing end losing 27 of 36 games after the All-Star break. The Bucks posted an 11-game losing streak as they lost 14 of their final 15 games, finishing in last place in the Central Division with a 31–51 record, and missing the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 1978–79 season.
Malone averaged 15.6 points and 9.1 rebounds per game, while off the bench, sixth man Dale Ellis led the Bucks with 15.7 points per game and 138 three-point field goals, and Jay Humphries provided the team with 14.0 points, 6.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game. In addition, Alvin Robertson averaged 12.3 points, 4.4 assists and 2.6 steals per game, while Frank Brickowski provided with 11.4 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, and Fred Roberts contributed 9.6 points per game. Off the bench, Larry Krystkowiak averaged 9.0 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, while Jeff Grayer contributed 9.0 points per game, Brad Lohaus provided with 5.8 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, Danny Schayes averaged 5.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, and Lester Conner contributed 3.5 points, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
The Bucks finished eleventh in the NBA in home-game attendance, with an attendance of 635,515 at the Bradley Center during the regular season. Following the season, Ellis was traded to the San Antonio Spurs, while Humphries and Krystkowiak were both dealt to the Utah Jazz, Grayer signed as a free agent with the Golden State Warriors, Conner was released to free agency, and Hamblen was fired as head coach.
