The 1989 Japan Series was the championship series of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) championship series for the season. The 40th edition of the Series, it was a best-of-seven playoff that matched the Pacific League champion Kintetsu Buffaloes against the Central League champion Yomiuri Giants. Kintetsu barely squeaked into the series with a winning percentage only .001 higher than the second place Orix Braves, and Yomiuri won the CL pennant by eight games to return to the series for the 25th time in franchise history. Played at Fujiidera Stadium and Tokyo Dome, the Giants won the series after losing the first three games to the underdog Buffaloes and staging a miraculous comeback, winning four games in a row with the final two wins coming on the road for the first comeback from a 3–0 series deficit since 1986 and first in seven games since 1958.

Yomiuri slugger Norihiro Komada was named Most Valuable Player of the series. The series was played between October 21 and October 29 with home field advantage going to the Pacific League.
