The 1992 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's 17th season with the National Football League (NFL). This was the first of three seasons in Seattle for head coach Tom Flores, but the Seahawks' winning percentage (.125) remains the worst in franchise history.

The Seahawks' 140 points (8.8 points per game) scored in the regular season is the lowest total for any team playing a 16-game (minimum) season. Long-time quarterback Dave Krieg had left Seattle for the rival Kansas City Chiefs in the offseason, leaving Seattle with Kelly Stouffer, Stan Gelbaugh, and Dan McGwire (brother of Major League Baseball star Mark McGwire) as their three quarterbacks.
Football Outsiders called Seattle's 1992 offense "the worst offense in (their ranking system's) history."[1] Seattle's 1,778 passing yards are the fewest in a season by any team during the 1990s.[2] The teams's 3,374 all-purpose yards are the lowest by a team in a 16-game (minimum) season in NFL history; they had 31 fewer total yards than the previous record-holders, the 1988 Detroit Lions, who had 3,405 all-purpose yards just four seasons prior.[3][4] Seattle was so inept that from the first game of the season until their Week 13 overtime win over Denver, they collectively had fewer points scored than punts attempted; for the entire season, the team finished with only slightly more points than punts. The team failed to score more than 17 points in a single game.
Despite their historically inept offense, Football Outsiders also ranked Seattle as having the third-best defense in 1992, making them the most imbalanced team they had ever measured. The Seahawks' star defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy was named the 1992 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Seattle gave up the fourth-fewest passing yards (2,661), and tied for fewest passing touchdowns allowed (11) of any team in 1992.
Before their Monday Night Football victory over the Denver Broncos in the Kingdome in late November,[5] the Seahawks honored radio announcer Pete Gross, inducting him as the fourth member of the Ring of Honor, its first non-player. After his long bout with cancer, Gross died two days later at age 55.[6][7] That game was also the last MNF game played in the Kingdome and the last in Seattle until 2002.[note 1]
