The Type 90 75 mm Field Gun was a field gun used by the Japanese Army during World War II. It was developed as a replacement for the obsolete Type 41 75 mm Cavalry Gun. It was probably based on a lightened 75 mm Type 90 Field Gun, but one source credits it as a copy of the French Schneider et Cie Canon de 75 Mle 1933. It entered production in 1935.

At any rate it used the same primitive spade plates as the Type 90 that had to be pounded into the ground to anchor the gun in place. It had wooden, spoked wheels for horse-traction.
