The 1991 Pacific hurricane season produced 16 tropical depressions, 14 of which became tropical storms or hurricanes. The season officially started on May 15, 1991 in the Eastern Pacific—designated as the area east of 140°W—and on June 1, 1991 in the Central Pacific, which is between the International Date Line and 140°W. The season officially ended in both basins on November 30, 1991. These dates typically limit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the eastern Pacific basin.

The timeline also includes information which was not operationally released, meaning that information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center
