1991 Arab Athletics Championships

The 1991 Arab Athletics Championships was the seventh edition of the international athletics competition between Arab countries. It took place in Latakia, Syria from 1–4 October. A total of 39 athletics events were contested, 23 for men and 16 for women.^[1]

The marathon race was held on a short course in Latakia, and was ultimately dropped at the following edition. The men's 50 kilometres race walk (introduced in 1987) was removed from the programme, while the women's 100 metres hurdles was not held due to a lack of entries. The women's 10,000 metres and marathon, which were held in 1989, did not return on this occasion.^[1]
