The Cannone da 90/53 was an Italian-designed cannon used both in an anti-aircraft role and as an anti-tank gun during World War II. It was one of the most successful anti-aircraft guns to see service during the conflict. The naval version of the gun was mounted on Italian battleships of the Littorio-class and the Andrea Doria-class.

While always in short supply, 57 of the 90 mm guns were ordered to be mounted on heavy trucks ( Autocannoni da 90/53 ) to enhance mobility.
