Lockheed XF-90 dibangun sebagai tanggapan Angkatan Udara Amerika Serikat terhadap persyaratan untuk pengawalan tempur dan pembom jangka panjang sayap rendah (low wing). Persyaratan yang sama menghasilkan McDonnell XF-88 Voodoo . Lockheed menerima kontrak untuk dua prototipe XP-90 (dinamakan XF-90 pada tahun 1948). Desain ini dikembangkan oleh Willis Hawkins dan tim Skunk Works di bawah Kelly Johnson . Dua prototip dibangun (s/n 46-687 dan -688). Kesulitan perkembangan dan politik menunda penerbangan pertama sampai 3 Juni 1949, dengan Pilot Uji Chief Tony LeVier . Kinerja desain pesawat dianggap tidak memadai karena pesawat menjadi underpowered, dan XF-90 tidak pernah memasuki produksi.
