The 1990 AFL reserves season was the 71st season of the AFL reserve grade competition, the Australian rules football competition operating as the second-tier competition to the Australian Football League (AFL).

The premiership was won by Carlton after they defeated Melbourne in the 1990 AFL reserves Grand Final, held as a curtain-raiser to the 1990 AFL Grand Final at the MCG on 6 October.[1][2]

This was the first season under the AFL reserves name, after the competition was renamed when the Victorian Football League (VFL) was renamed to the AFL.[3]
