{{1989 Big Ten Conference football standings}}
The 1989 Indiana Hoosiers football team represented Indiana University Bloomington as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 1989 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by sixth-year head coach Bill Mallory, the Hoosiers compiled an overall record of 5–6 with a mark of 3–5 in conference play, tying for sixth place the Big Ten. It was Indiana's first losing season since 1985. The team played home games at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana.
In the battle for the Old Oaken Bucket, Purdue beat Indiana. On November 24, Anthony Thompson was the top vote-getter and the only repeat selection on the 1989 Walter Camp All-America team. Thompson finished the season with 1,793 yards and 24 touchdowns. On December 2, a chorus of boos was heard throughout the Hoosier Dome during the Indiana–Kentucky basketball game when Andre Ware of the Houston Cougars was announced as the 55th recipient of the Heisman Trophy. Thompson finished second.{{cite web|url=http://www.collegefootballhistory.com/hoosiers/history.htm |title=Indiana Hoosiers Football History - College Football |access-date=2015-12-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130901135850/http://www.collegefootballhistory.com/hoosiers/history.htm |archive-date=2013-09-01 }}
