The 1989 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships were the 51st annual NCAA Men's Division I Cross Country Championship and the 9th annual NCAA Women's Division I Cross Country Championship to determine the team and individual national champions of NCAA Division I men's and women's collegiate cross country running in the United States. In all, four different titles were contested: men's and women's individual and team championships.

Held on November 20, 1989, the combined meet was hosted by the United States Naval Academy at the Navy Cross Country Course in Annapolis, Maryland. The distance for the men's race was 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) while the distance for the women's race was 5 kilometers (3.11 miles). A record 364 runners, both men and women, contested this championship.

The men's team national championship was won by Iowa State, their first team national title. The individual championship was won by John Nuttall, also from Iowa State, with a time of 15:59.86.[1]

The women's team national championship was won by Villanova, their first national title (and first of their eventual record nine). The individual championship was won by Vicki Huber, also from Villanova, with a time of 15:59.86, the event record time for the 5 kilometer distance (upheld all the way until 2001, when the race distance was extended to 6 kilometers).[2] Huber beat her nearest competitor by almost thirty seconds. This was the first of Villanova's record six consecutive individual women's cross country titles.
