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, following Super Bowl XXVI.

The Redskins were decimated by five wins to a record of nine wins and seven losses, but still made the 1992–93 NFL playoffs. Nonetheless, a lean period for the Redskins was to follow; they were not to make the postseason again until the 1999 season and have never seriously contended for another Super Bowl despite three more playoff appearances.

This season would be Joe Gibbs final season coaching the Washington Redskins until he returned in the 2004 season. Gibbs was the most successful coach in Redskins history, leading the team to three Super Bowl victories (1982, 1987, 1991), and eight playoff berths in eleven seasons (1981-1992).
