C/1890 V1 (Zona) is a non-periodic comet discovered on 15 November 1890 by the Italian astronomer Temistocle Zona with an equatorially mounted Merz telescope at the Osservatorio Astronomico di Palermo. Whilst attempting to observe this comet on 17 November, Rudolf F. Spitaler discovered the eponymous 113P/Spitaler very close to where Zona's Comet was positioned.
