The 1989 Cleveland Browns season was the team's 40th season with the National Football League.
It was the Browns' first season with head coach Bud Carson, who had been the defensive coordinator of the New York Jets the previous season. The Browns reached their third AFC Championship Game in four seasons, and for the third time lost to the Denver Broncos.
It would be the Browns's fifth consecutive season making the playoffs, but it would be their last playoff season until 1994.
As of February 2017, the 1989 season marks the last time that the Browns have won a division title. The 27 season drought without a division title is the longest active drought in the NFL.
