The 1990 United States Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on March 11, 1990 in Phoenix, Arizona. It was the opening round of the 1990 Formula One season. It was the 32nd United States Grand Prix since the American Grand Prize was first held in 1908, and the 25th since the first United States Grand Prix was held at Riverside in 1958. It was the second to be held on the streets of Phoenix in Arizona. It was held over 72 laps of the four kilometre circuit for a race distance of 273 kilometres.

The race was won by 1988 Formula One world champion, Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna driving a McLaren MP4/5B. Senna had to come from behind after the young French driver Jean Alesi almost stole the race away in what would have been a major upset win for Alesi and his comparitively under-funded Tyrrell 018. Senna took an eight second win over Alesi who scored his top three podium finish, with Belgian driver Thierry Boutsen finishing third in his Williams FW13B.
