The 1989 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships (1989 WJHC) was the 13th edition of the Ice Hockey World Junior Championship and was held in Anchorage, Alaska, United States at the Sullivan Arena.

The Soviet Union won the gold medal, its eighth, and ultimately final, championship.

The 1989 tournament was a round-robin format, with the top three teams winning gold, silver and bronze medals respectively.

Because Denmark had used an ineligible player in last year's Pool C, a special challenge was played with Italy (who had come second).

This five team tournament was a round robin played in Basingstoke, Great Britain from 16 to 22 March.
