The 1989 Scottish Professional Championship was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament which took place in February 1989 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The tournament featured eight exclusively Scottish professional players. The quarter-final and semi-final matches were contested over the best of 9 frames, and the final as best of seventeen. Defending champion Stephen Hendry did not enter; his manager Ian Doyle said that this was because Hendry was "in a different class" to the other Scottish professional players.
The 1989 tournament was the last for twenty-two years, before its revival in 2011.
John Rea won the event, beating Murdo MacLeod 9–7 in the final. In his earlier match against Ian Black, Rea compiled a 147 maximum break. It was the first maximum break achieved in a tournament in Scotland, and was also his first competitive century break. The title was the first, and only, of Rea's career.
