The '''1991 Hopman Cup''' was the third edition of the [[Hopman Cup]], an international mixed teams tournament played at the [[Burswood Entertainment Complex]] in [[Perth]], Western Australia. The event was held from 27 December 1990 through 4 January 1991.

Twelve teams competed in the tournament with the top four seeded teams ([[United States at the Hopman Cup|United States]], [[Spain at the Hopman Cup|Spain]], [[Switzerland at the Hopman Cup|Switzerland]] and the [[Soviet Union at the Hopman Cup|Soviet Union]]) each receiving a bye into the quarter-finals. The remaining eight teams played in the first round. In the final which was played on 4 January, Yugoslav pair, [[Goran Prpić]] and [[Monica Seles]] won both of their singles matches to defeat the American pair, [[Zina Garrison]] and [[David Wheaton]] without needing to go with the mixed doubles (which was also won by Yugoslavia).
