The 1990–91 Alabama Crimson Tide men's basketball team represented the University of Alabama in the 1990-91 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.

They finished the season with a record of 23–10, 12–6 in conference, good for fourth place.

Forwards David Benoit and Keith Askins graduated and moved to the NBA, but the Tide was bolstered by freshman signee James "Hollywood" Robinson and junior college transfer Latrell Sprewell from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
