Tecmo World Cup '90 is an association football video game released by Tecmo for arcades in 1989. It was an arcade successor to Tecmo's Tehkan World Cup (1985), and is based on the 1990 FIFA World Cup.

An unofficial bootleg of the game named Euro League featuring European club teams was also released. An unfaithful home version was developed by SIMS for the Sega Mega Drive renamed simply Tecmo World Cup (in Japan, the game was called Tecmo World Cup '92), and ported to the Sega Master System as Tecmo World Cup '93.

The player can select one from eight available national teams in Tecmo World Cup '90. Japan were included despite them failing to qualify for the World Cup in 1990. The game was an unofficial release, giving them the chance to include the team to appease Japanese players. A European revision of the game was later released, which includes France (also non-qualifiers) in place of the US and Spain in place of Japan.
