This draft has been resubmitted and is currently awaiting re-review.

The 1991 Kentucky lieutenant gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 1991, to elect the lieutenant governor of Kentucky. Incumbent Democratic Lieutenant Governor Brereton Jones chose not to seek re-election to a second term in office, instead running for governor.

Pike County executive Paul E. Patton won the general election against attorney Euegene Goss, by a margin of 514,023 to 250,857 votes. This would be the last time the lieutenant governor was elected seperately from the governor.^[1]
