The 1991 Jacksonville mayoral election took place on April 9, 1991. Incumbent Mayor Tommy Hazouri, a Democrat, ran for re-election to a second term. He was challenged in the Democratic primary by State Attorney Ed Austin. Austin narrowly defeated Hazouri, 51–49 percent. No other candidates filed for the race, and Austin was elected unopposed.

This was the last election to take place with separate party primaries. In 1992, voters approved a referendum that provided for unitary elections, with all candidates of all parties appearing on the same ballot. In 1994, Austin switched to the Republican Party.
