All 78 seats to Dublin County Council

An election to Dublin County Council took place on 27 June 1991 as part of that year's Irish local elections. Councillors were elected from local electoral areas on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote for a six-year term of office. It was the last election held for Dublin County Council.

The election took place in three electoral counties:[1][2]

From 1 January 1994, on the coming into effect of the Local Government (Dublin) Act 1993, County Dublin was disestablished as an administrative county, and in its place, the electoral counties became three new counties: Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin. From that date, councillors elected for the electoral counties of Dublin County Council became councillors of the respective county councils:[3]
