# Campionat del Món de motociclisme de 1989

La temporada de 1989 del Campionat del món de motociclisme fou la 41a edició d'aquest campionat, organitzat per la FIM. El campió Eddie Lawson sorprengué a tothom amb el seu canvi d'equip, passant de Yamaha a Honda i guanyant el campionat, convertint-se en el primer pilot a guanyar dos campionats consecutius de 500 cc amb dues marques diferents. Wayne Rainey i Kevin Schwantz continuaren amb les seves actuacions espectaculars mentre que Freddie Spencer no va triomfar amb el seu reton amb l'equip Yamaha Marlboro. Wayne Gardner es va fracturar la cama a Laguna Seca mentre un altre australià, Mick Doohan, debutava en el campionat arribant al tercer lloc al Circuit de Hockenheim.
Per part catalana hi hagué un doblet, amb la victòria de Sito Pons en 250 cc i d'Àlex Crivillé que guanyava en 125 cc, convertint-se amb 19 anys en el pilot més jove de la història en guanyar un títol mundial amb la JJ Cobas. En 80 cc es disputà l'últim campionat, on va guanyar el valencià Manuel "Champi" Herreros amb una Derbi sense arribar a guanyar cap cursa.
