De 1990 Japanese Grand Prix werd gewonnnen door Nelson Piquet van Benetton. Ondanks pole positie getrained te hebben in Japan, kon Ayrton Senna dit niet omzetten in een overwinning. Senna was genoodzaakt uit te vallen in ronde 1 door: Collision.
De race in Japan was ronde 15 van 16 van het 1990 seizoen.
The 1990 Japanese Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 21 October 1990 at Suzuka. It was the fifteenth and penultimate round of the 1990 Formula One season. It was the 16th Japanese Grand Prix and the 6th held at Suzuka.
The race is best remembered for the first corner collision between World Championship rivals Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna and French driver Alain Prost, the second consecutive year the two had collided at this race with heavy championship repercussions. It immediately put both cars out of the race and secured for Senna his second World Championship, a reversal of fortunes from the 1989 Japanese Grand Prix, where the collision had secured the championship for Prost. The race saw a best result to that point for the Benetton Formula team with their drivers, Brazilian veteran Nelson Piquet and his protégé Roberto Moreno finishing first and second in their Benetton B190s. It was back to back wins for Benetton in Japan after the team's win the previous year. Japanese driver Aguri Suzuki scored a career best result for himself and the Larrousse team, finishing third in his Lola LC90 in the only podium driver and team would achieve.
With Ferrari scoring no points after Nigel Mansell's retirement, the McLaren team secured their sixth and third consecutive Constructors' Championship.
As of 2017, this race marks the only time a Lamborghini powered car finished on the podium in Formula One.
