The 1990 Texas Longhorns football team represented the University of Texas at Austin as a member of the Southwest Conference (SWC) during the 1990 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by fourth-year head coach David McWilliams, the Longhorns compiled an overall record of 10–2 with a mark of 8–0 in conference play, winning the SWC title. Texas earned a berth in the Cotton Bowl Classic, where the Longhorns lost to the Miami Hurricanes. The team played home games at Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas.

The 1990 Longhorns bounced back after consecutive losing seasons with a 10–1 record in the regular season. Fueled by what became known as the "Shock the Nation" tour, Texas won the SWC championship, with the only loss in the regulation season coming at the hands of eventual national champion, Colorado. Texas entered the New Year's Day Cotton Bowl Classic ranked number three in the nation, but was lost handily to Miami, 46–3.
