The 1889 South Australian Football Association season was the 13th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia.

As Norwood and Port Adelaide finished level on premiership points, the first ever dedicated premiership playoff match in a major Australian rules football competition was held, with Norwood winning to claim the 1889 premiership.

Adelaide merged with North Adelaide, the former Hotham and no relation to the current team, after North Adelaide had spent one season in the S.A.F.A.
