The EMLL 56th Anniversary Show (Spanish: 56. Aniversario de EMLL) was a professional wrestling major show event produced by Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) that took place on September 22, 1989, in Arena Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico. The event commemorated the 56th anniversary of EMLL, which would become the oldest professional wrestling promotion in the world. The Anniversary show is EMLL's biggest show of the year, their Super Bowl event. The EMLL Anniversary Show series is the longest-running annual professional wrestling show, starting in 1934.

The main event was a tag team Lucha de Apuestas ("Bet match) between the teams of Atlantis and El Satánico and Tierra Viento y Fuego and MS-1 where one team member put their mask on the line and one team member put their hair on the line. As a result, MS-1 was shaved bald and Tierra Viento y Fuego unmasked, revealing that his real name is Alfonso Lira, who would later be known as Damián el Guerrero. The show was rounded out by four Best two-out-of-three falls six-man "Lucha Libre rules" tag team matches.
