The 1990 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on 4 November 1990 at Adelaide. This was the 500th race to contribute to the World Drivers' Championship. The race was the 55th Australian Grand Prix and the sixth to be held on the Adelaide street circuit. The race was held over 81 laps of the three kilometre circuit for a race distance of 306 kilometres.

The race was won for the second race in a row, by Brazilian veteran Nelson Piquet driving a Benetton B190. He took a three second victory over British driver Nigel Mansell driving a Ferrari 641 in his final race for Scuderia Ferrari. Mansell's French team mate Alain Prost finished third.

The victory allowed Piquet to claim third spot in the drivers championship in a countback after equalling the pointscore of Austrian McLaren driver Gerhard Berger. It also allowed Benetton Formula to secure third in the championship over Williams.
