The 1989 Jersey City mayoral election was held on June 13, 1989. Incumbent mayor Anthony R. Cucci ran for a second term in office but finished fourth in the preliminary election and failed to advance to a runoff. In the runoff, former mayor Gerald McCann was elected to a second non-consecutive term in office by defeating council president Glenn Cunningham.

In addition to Cucci and McCann, the race featured former mayor Thomas F. X. Smith and Cunningham would later serve as mayor from 2001 until his death in 2004.

This was the most expensive local race in New Jersey history at the time, surpassing the 1986 election for Bergen County Executive.
