The 1889 Yale Bulldogs football team represented Yale University in the 1889 college football season. In their second season under head coach Walter Camp, Yale compiled a 15–1 record, held opponents scoreless in 12 games, and outscored all opponents by a total of 659 to 31. Its only loss was in the final game of the season against rival Princeton by a 10–0 score.[1]

Three Yale players (end Amos Alonzo Stagg, guard Pudge Heffelfinger and tackle Charles O. Gill) were named to the 1889 College Football All-America Team, the first college football All-America team as selected by Caspar Whitney.[2] Stagg and Heffelfinger have also been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
