The 1990 Meath Intermediate Football Championship is the 64th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 20 teams. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

This was St. Peter's Dunboyne's return to the grade as they were promoted from the J.F.C. after claiming the 1989 Meath Junior Football Championship title, and they almost won straight promotion through the grade, losing to Dunderry in the final.

On 14 October 1990, Dunderry claimed their 4th Intermediate championship title when they defeated St. Peter's Dunboyne 0–16 to 1–7 in the final at Pairc Tailteann, ending their run of 3 final losses in 3 years.

Wolfe Tones were regraded to the J.F.C. for 1991 after over 10 years as an Intermediate club.
