The1991 San Francisco mayoral election was held on November 5, 1991, with a runoff election on December 10 that year. Incumbent mayorArt Agnos, after having won nearly 70% of the vote in1987, scraped by with less than a third of the vote in the first round and was narrowly unseated by Chief of PoliceFrank Jordan in the runoff.
Agnos' strong support of demolishing theEmbarcadero Freeway after the1989 Loma Prieta earthquake caused San Francisco's Chinatown voters to turn against him, contributing to his narrow loss.
