American college football season
 ;templatestyles src="Standings table start/styles.css" / ;
The 1990 South Carolina Gamecocks football team represented the University of South Carolina as an independent team in the 1990 NCAA Division I-A football season. The Gamecocks were led by Sparky Woods in his second year as head coach and played their home games at Williams–Brice Stadium.
Led by quarterback Bobby Fuller, the Gamecocks finished the season with a record of 6–5. Their loss to The Citadel was the program's first loss to a Division I-AA team since 1982, and would be the last until 2015. South Carolina was bowl-eligible, but athletics director King Dixon declined a bowl bid, likely due to the lingering effects of the 1988 steroids scandal. This was Woods' second and final winning season with the Gamecocks; it would be South Carolina's last winning season until 1994.
