The 1990 Asian Games medal table is a list of nations ranked by the medals won by their athletes during the multi-sport event, being held in Beijing, China from September 22 to October 7, 1990. The National Olympic Committees are ranked by number of gold medals first, with number of silver then bronze medals acting as the rank decider in the event of equal standing. Other alternative methods of ranking include listing by total medals. China set a new record by becoming the first nation in the history of the Asian Games to cross the 100-gold medal mark and the 300-total medal mark in one edition.
