Papyrus 90 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by 𝔓90, is a small fragment from the Gospel of John 18:36-19:7 dating palaeographically to the late 2nd century.[1][clarification needed][2]

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland placed it in Category I (because of its date).[3]

Philip W. Comfort says "𝔓90 has [close] textual affinity with 𝔓66 ... [and] some affinity with א (Aleph)."[4]

It is currently housed at the Sackler Library (Papyrology Rooms, P. Oxy. 3523) in Oxford.[3][5]
