The 1989 New Orleans Saints season was the franchise's 23rd season in the National Football League, and their fourteenth with home games at the Superdome. They failed to improve upon their 10–6 record from 1988 and instead finished with a 9–7 record, missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season. This was the final season Brad Edelman, James Haynes, Walter Johnson, Mike Jones, Joe Kohlbrand, and Steve Korte would play in the NFL.
