The 1990 Indiana Secretary of State election was held on November 6, 1990, to elect the Secretary of State of Indiana. Democratic incumbent Joe Hogsett, who was appointed to the office in 1989 by previous secretary Evan Bayh following his resignation to take office after winning the 1988 Indiana gubernatorial election, won election to a full term, narrowly defeating Republican Mayor of Indianapolis William H. Hudnut III by three percentage points.

As of 2026, this election is the last time a Democrat has been elected Secretary of State of Indiana.
