The 1989 Philadelphia Eagles season was the franchise's 57th season in the National Football League (NFL).

This season marked the Eagles’ second consecutive appearance in the postseason, this time as a wild-card team. They would lose in the Wild Card to the Rams.

However, tribulation struck the Eagles late in the season with the death of quarterbacks coach Doug Scovil from a heart attack. For the remainder of the season, the Eagles wore a black stripe made of electrical tape over the wings on their helmet in tribute.

It was Hall of Famer Cris Carter's final season in Philadelphia as his on-and-off the field troubles led to his release the following preseason. He would then sign with the Minnesota Vikings.
