An election to Seanad Éireann, the senate of the Oireachtas (Irish parliament), followed the 1989 general election to the 26th Dáil. The senators served until the close of poll for the 20th Seanad in 1993.

Cathaoirleach

On 1 November 1989, Seán Doherty (FF) was proposed as Cathaoirleach by Mick Lanigan (FF) and seconded by Patrick McGowan (FF). Avril Doyle (FG) was proposed by Maurice Manning (FG) and seconded by Charles McDonald (FG). John A. Murphy (Ind) was nominated by David Norris (Ind) and seconded by Brendan Ryan (Ind). Doherty was elected by a vote of 32 to 25.

On 8 November 1989, Liam Naughten (FG) was proposed as Leas-Chathaoirleach by Myles Staunton (FG) and seconded by Pól Ó Foighil (FG). Jack Harte (Lab) was proposed by Pat Upton (Lab) and seconded by Joe Costello (Lab). Naughten was elected by a vote of 15 to 10.

On 22 January 1992, Doherty resigned as Cathaoirleach after comments he made in relation to the phone tapping scandal, which would lead to the resignation of Charles Haughey as taoiseach on 11 February. On 23 January, Seán Fallon (FF) was proposed by G. V. Wright (FF) and seconded by Tras Honan (FF). He was elected without a division. Fallon won a contest against Des Hanafin, Tras Honan and Willie Farrell to be the Fianna Fáil nominee for the post.
