The 1990 Meath Senior Football Championship is the 98th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 14 teams, with the winner going on to represent Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

This was St. Michael's first year ever as a senior club after claiming the 1989 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title.

For this season, former All-star winner Gerry McEntee transferred from Nobber to Summerhill. However in the SFC final drawn game, he broke his wrist.

Navan O'Mahonys were the defending champions after they defeated Skryne in the previous years final, and they successfully defended their title to claim their 15th S.F.C. title (their 4th in a row) when beating Summerhill 1-11 to 0-5 after a replay in the final at Pairc Tailteann on 28 October 1990. Colm Ratty raised the Keegan Cup for O'Mahonys while Mick Lyons of Summerhill claimed the 'Man of the Match' award, becoming the second man to claim this accolade after losing the final. Joe Cassells also won a record 8th S.F.C. medal, although he was sent off in the replay.

No team was relegated from the S.F.C. this year.
