Supreme Soviet elections were held in the Azerbaijan SSR on 30 September and 14 October 1990. They were the first multi-party elections in the country.

According to historian Audrey Altstadt,

The 1990 elections were characterized by intimidation, including the jailing of several Popular Front candidates, the murder of two others, and unabashed stuffing of ballot boxes in at least some districts in Baku, as witnessed by observers from the US Embassy-Moscow and the US Commission for Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE)
