The 1990 United States Shadow Senator election in the District of Columbia took place on November 6, 1990, to elect two shadow members to the United States Senate to represent the District of Columbia. The members were only recognized by the District of Columbia and not officially sworn or seated by the United States Senate.

In this election candidates for both seats ran in the same general election (with two candidates advancing from any party primary), and the top two candidates by popular vote became the Shadow Senators for the District of Columbia. Democrats Jesse Jackson and Florence Pendleton would be elected to become the first senators of the District of Columbia, Jackson became the Class 2 senator while Pendleton became the Class 1 senator.
