The 1990 Saskatchewan Roughriders season was the 76th season in the club's 80th year of existence. Following their win in the 1989 Grey Cup, the team opened this season as defending Grey Cup champions for the first time since 1967. The team finished in third place in the Canadian Football League's West Division with a 9–9 record for the second consecutive season. However, the Roughriders could not duplicate the success of the previous year as they lost to the Edmonton Eskimos in the West Semi-Final.

The Roughriders gained a team record 5793 passing yards, which at the time was the 3rd most for a team in a single season in CFL history. They also set CFL team records for:

  • most pass attempts in a season (793), which was surpassed by the 1995 Birmingham Barracudas (814);
  • most pass completions in a season (450), which has been surpassed by several teams.
  • most field goals made one season (59)

They set the following team records:

  • most points scored one season (557)
  • most points scored against one season (592)
  • highest single home game attendance: 31,121 in the Labour Day Classic against Winnipeg
