The 1989 Miami Dolphins season was the team's 24th as a member of the National Football League (NFL).
The Dolphins improved upon their previous season's 6–10 W-L record, winning eight games.
1989 was summed up for Miami in its season premiere and season finale, both losses at home: Buffalo stunned the Dolphins when they scored a TD as time ran out to win in week 1, and Kansas City won in week 16 in a contest where the gametime temperature was 32 degrees, a record for the coldest home game the Dolphins had ever played up to that time.
Shortly after the season ended, Miami Dolphins founder Joe Robbie died on January 7, 1990, at the age of 73.
