The 1989 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament was the 31st annual tournament organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the national champion of men's collegiate soccer among its Division I members in the United States.

The final match was played on December 3 at Rutgers Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey. All the other games were played at the home field of the higher seeded team.[1][2]

Virginia and Santa Clara were declared co-national champions after the championship game ended in a 1–1 tie, the first national titles for each program. This tournament marks the third and final time the NCAA recognized men's soccer co-champions; the 1967 final was called due to weather, while the 1968 final was also a draw by rule.
