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, the final best of seventeen.

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.[2] in his earlier match against Ian Black, Rea had become the first Scottish player ever to compile a 147 maximum break, which was also his first competitive century break.[3] The title was the first, and only, of Rea's career.
