The Paisley North by-election, in Paisley, Scotland, was held on November 8, 1990. It was caused by the death of the sitting Member of Parliament for the constituency, Allen Adams. The Scottish National Party (SNP) saw a healthy increase in their share of the vote, but not enough to win, and the Labour Party retained the seat, with Adams' widow Irene being their successful candidate.
