The 1989 Iowa State Cyclones football team represented Iowa State University as a member of the Big Eight Conference during the 1989 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by third-year head coach Jim Walden, the Cyclones compiled an overall record of 6–5 with a mark of 4–3 in conference play, placing fourth in the Big 8. Iowa State played home games at Cyclone Stadium in Ames, Iowa.
This was the first time that Iowa State played against Minnesota since 1923. On October 8, 1923, Jack Trice, the first African-American to play football at Iowa State, died after suffering injuries in a game against Minnesota that occurred two days before his death. There was speculation that the injuries caused by the Minnesota players were intentional. Because of this, Iowa State did not renew their contract to play with Minnesota until the 1989 season.
