The 1991–92 NBA season was the 24th season for the Seattle SuperSonics in the National Basketball Association. After a 7–3 start to the season, head coach K. C. Jones was fired with the team holding an 18–18 record. After splitting four games under interim coach Bob Kloppenburg, the Sonics hired George Karl, who returned after a four-year absence from coaching in the NBA. Under Karl, the SuperSonics held a 24–24 record at the All-Star break, and finished the season fourth in the Pacific Division with a 47–35 record, reaching the playoffs as the number 6 seed in the Western Conference.
