The A3090 is an A-Class Road in Hampshire in Southern England. It forms a south-western by-pass for Winchester, from Junction 11 of the M3 to the Romsey Road. The rest of its route was formerly part of the A31, running through Hursley, Ampfield and Romsey (where a short section is numbered as the A27), to the A36 Salisbury Road at Ower near Totton, close to its junction with the M27. The A31 makes its re-appearance from the A36 at Ower.

A planned Winchester southern Park and ride scheme is partially intended to reduce peak-hour congestion on the Winchester section, caused by traffic heading for sites in Romsey Road including Kings' School, the University of Winchester, Royal Hampshire County Hospital and the headquarters of Hampshire County Council and Hampshire Constabulary.

Prior to completion of the M3 past Winchester in the 1990s, the A3090 ran SW from the A33 at Kings Worthy (where the A33 diverted around the Winchester Bypass) to the centre of Winchester, before continuing along the historic route of the A31 from Winchester to Hursley. Here it ended at a junction with the A31, which at this time, having merged with the by-pass east of Winchester, re-emerged from the A33 at Otterbourne and ran to Hursley and on along the current route of the A3090. This route can be seen for example on early Ordnance Survey Landranger maps dated between 1974 and 1992.
