The 1990 Football League Fourth Division play-off Final was an association football match which was played on 26 May 1990 at Wembley Stadium, London, between Cambridge United and Chesterfield. The match was to determine the fourth and final team to gain promotion from the Football League Fourth Division, the fourth tier of English football, to the Third Division. The top three teams of the 1989–90 Football League Fourth Division season gained automatic promotion to the Third Division, while the clubs placed from fourth to seventh place in the table took part in play-offs. The winners of the play-off semi-finals competed for the final place in the 1990–91 season in the Third Division. Stockport County and Maidstone United F.C. were the losing semi-finalists. This was the first season that the play-off final was determined in a single match at Wembley and this was the first of the play-off finals to be played at the national stadium. The referee for the match, played in sunny conditions in front of a crowd of 26,404, was George Courtney. An uneventful first half ended goalless. In the second half, and after having missed several chances, Dion Dublin scored in the 77th minute to give Cambridge the lead. Mick Leonard, the Chesterfield goalkeeper, was ruled to have carried the ball out after attempting to catch a misdirected shot, and conceded a corner. Dublin out-jumped Chesterfield's defenders to head in Chris Leadbitter's set piece and make it 1–0. With two minutes remaining, Jamie Hewitt's header was saved by the Cambridge goalkeeper John Vaughan. The match ended 1–0 and Cambridge secured promotion to the Third Division. Chesterfield finished their following season in 18th position in the Fourth Division, with their manager Paul Hart being sacked mid-season. Cambridge United ended their next season as champions of the Third Division and gained promotion to the Second Division for the 1991–92 season.
