The 1992 Washington Redskins season was the franchise's 61st season in the National Football League. This season began with the team trying to win their second Super Bowl in a row since the 1989 San Francisco 49ers, following Super Bowl XXVI.
The Redskins finished with a record of nine wins and seven losses, a far inferior record to their previous 14–2 season, but made the 1992–93 NFL playoffs and defeated the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round. However, their hopes of back to back championships ended with a loss to the 49ers in the Divisional Round. The Redskins did not qualify for the postseason again until the 1999 season.
The season would be Joe Gibbs' final season coaching the Washington Redskins until he returned in the 2004 season. Gibbs is the most successful coach in Braves/Redskins/Football Team/Commanders history, leading the team to three Super Bowl victories (1982, 1987, 1991), and eight playoff berths in eleven seasons (1981-1992).
