The 1990 Royal Rumble was the third annual Royal Rumble professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It took place on January 21, 1990, at the Orlando Arena in Orlando, Florida. It centered on the Royal Rumble match, a modified battle royal in which participants enter at timed intervals instead of all beginning in the ring at the same time.

Six matches were contested at the event, including one dark match. The main event was the 1990 Royal Rumble match, which was won by WWF Champion Hulk Hogan, who last eliminated Mr. Perfect. The undercard matches saw Jim Duggan defeat Big Boss Man by disqualification, Ronnie Garvin defeat Greg "The Hammer" Valentine in a Submission match, and The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Butch and Bushwhacker Luke) defeat The Fabulous Rougeaus (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau).
