The 1990–91 FIBA European Champions Cup was the 34th season of the FIBA European Champions Cup (now called EuroLeague). It was won by Pop 84, after they beat FC Barcelona 70-65. It was their second championship triumph over the Spanish team, and their third straight championship overall. A feat previously achieved only by ASK Riga, who won the first three editions of the trophy. The culminating EuroLeague Final Four was held at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, Bercy, Paris, on 16–18 April 1991. Toni Kukoč was named Final Four MVP for the second straight year.

This season of the competition also marked an end to the era of European national domestic league champions only participation, as the next season featured an expanded competition, that included national domestic league champions, the current league title holders, and some other teams from the most important national domestic leagues. That also was in accordance with the league being renamed for the next season, and being called the FIBA European League championship for men's clubs. A name the competition would keep for the next five editions of the competition.
