The 1989 VFA season was the 108th season of the Victorian Football Association (VFA), an Australian rules football competition played in the state of Victoria. The season began on 9 April and concluded on 24 September, comprising an 18-match home-and-away season over 20 rounds, followed by a four-week finals series.
Coburg won the premiership for the second year in a row and the sixth time overall, defeating Williamstown by 20 points in the 1989 VFA Grand Final. As of 2025, it is the last time Coburg has won a senior VFA/VFL premiership.
This was the first season since 1960 in which the VFA operated as a single-division competition, having operated as a two-division competition with promotion and relegation for the previous 28 years.
