The Paisley North by-election, 1990 was a parliamentary by-election held on 29 November 1990 for the British House of Commons constituency of Paisley North, in the town of Paisley, Scotland.
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.
