The 1990 Montreal Expos season was the 22nd season in franchise history. An 85–77 record was good enough to put them in third place in the National League East and 10 games behind the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Offseason

Spring training

The Expos held spring training at West Palm Beach Municipal Stadium in West Palm Beach, Florida – a facility they shared with the Atlanta Braves. It was their 14th season at the stadium; they had conducted spring training there from 1969 to 1972 and since 1981.
