The 1990 UK Championship (officially the 1990 StormSeal UK Championship) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 16 November and 2 December 1990 at the Guild Hall in Preston, England.[1] This was the second and last UK Championship to be sponsored by StormSeal. The televised stages were shown on the BBC from 24 November to the final.

Hendry beat 19-year-old fellow Scot Alan McManus in the semi-final by a 9–5 scoreline. McManus, who was in his rookie season,[2] had just beaten Dennis Taylor, Steve Newbury, Silvino Francisco and Jimmy White to make the semis. Nigel Bond, who was a finalist at the Grand Prix a month earlier,[3] made it to the quarter-finals losing to Davis.

Defending champion Stephen Hendry defeated Steve Davis 16–15 in the final. The highest break of the tournament was 140 made by John Parrott.
