Nascar Winston Cup Series 1990 var den 42:a upplagan av den främsta divisionen av professionell stockcarracing i USA sanktionerad av National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing.

Säsongen bestod av 29 race och inleddes på Daytona International Speedway med uppvisningsloppen Busch Clash 11 februari och Twin 125 Qualifiers 15 februari, vilket även var slutkval till den 32:a upplagan av Daytona 500. Säsongen avslutades 18 november på Atlanta International Raceway med Atlanta Journal 500. Serien vanns av Dale Earnhardt, vilket var hans fjärde mästerskapstitel.

Earnhardt vann serien med endast 26 poängs marginal till tvåan Mark Martin, som tidigare under säsongen fått ett udda domslut emot sig. Tjockleken på spacerplattan mellan förgasare och insug visade sig vid en efterkontroll av bilen vara 2,5 tum mot tillåtna 2 tum. Något som tävlingsledningen inte kunde svara på om det ökade motorns prestanda. Martin fick behålla segern man blev fråntagen 46 poäng samt bötfälldes. Domslutet kom i slutänden att avgöra mästerskapet.
