The 1990–91 season was the 21st season of the Portland Trail Blazers in the National Basketball Association (NBA).^[1] The Blazers won their first eleven games on their way to a franchise best start at a record of 27–3. They would post a 16-game winning streak near the end of the season as they finished with a league best record at 63–19, setting a franchise-high win total that still stands today, and made their ninth consecutive trip to the NBA Playoffs. It was their first Pacific Division title since the 1977–78 season, and ended the Los Angeles Lakers' streak of nine straight years as Pacific Division champions and number-one seed in the Western Conference.

However, after advancing to the Western Conference Finals with a 3–2 win over the Seattle SuperSonics in the first round, and a 4–1 win over the Utah Jazz in the conference semifinals, the Blazers were denied a second straight trip to the NBA Finals, falling to the 3rd-seeded Lakers in six games.

Three members of the team, Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, and Kevin Duckworth were all selected for the 1991 NBA All-Star Game.

The team's season roster is featured in the video game NBA 2K16.^[2]
