{{Qualification for championships (UEFA)|expanded=FIFA}}
The [[Europe]]an ([[UEFA]]) zone of '''[[1990 FIFA World Cup qualification|qualification]]''' for the [[1990 FIFA World Cup]] saw 32 teams competing for 13 places at the finals. UEFA members [[Italy national football team|Italy]] qualified automatically as hosts of the finals. The qualification process started on 21 May 1988 and ended on 18 November 1989.

==Format==
Teams were drawn into seven groups, four groups of five teams and three of four teams. All seven group-winners qualified automatically, with the runners-up in the four groups containing five teams (Groups 3, 5, 6 and 7) also qualifying. The two best second-placed teams in the three groups containing only four teams also qualified (Groups 1, 2 and 4), and the second-placed team with the worst record was eliminated.

==Draw==
The draw for the qualifying groups took place in [[Zürich]], [[Switzerland]] on 12 December 1987. During the draw teams were drawn from the 5 pots into the 7 groups. The seedings below were announced ten days before the draw. Teams qualified to the final tournament are in bold. The Seeded teams were the 5 European sides who reached the 1986 Quarter Finals plus Soviet Union and Denmark though there were still security issues with England due to their fan issues in the form of hooliganism which was a factor with all 3 of their away games in the 1990 qualifying campaign being televised live by the BBC
