The 1991 Sioux Falls mayoral election took place on June 18, 1991. Incumbent Mayor Jack White ran for re-election to a second term. He was challenged by State Senator Pam Nelson and several other candidates. White defeated Nelson by a wide margin in the primary election, winning 52 percent of the vote to Nelson's 40 percent, eliminating the need for runoff.

This was the last election conducted prior to voters' adoption of mayor–council government in 1994, which shortened mayoral terms to four years.
