The 1989 Canadian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on June 18, 1989.
It was the first Formula One victory for Belgian driver Thierry Boutsen – who won three Formula One races overall, all during his two-year stint with Williams-Renault – and was the first win for the Williams-Renault partnership, which lasted until the end of the 1997 season and went on to win four Drivers' and five Constructors' World Championships in that time.
McLaren's Alain Prost scored his first pole position since the 1988 Portuguese Grand Prix, halting team mate Ayrton Senna's run of 8 straight poles since that race.

Race[edit]
Notes[edit]
- Lap leaders: Alain Prost 1 (1), Ayrton Senna 30 (2-3, 39-66), Riccardo Patrese 31 (4-34), Derek Warwick 4 (35-38), Thierry Boutsen 3 (67-69)
- Nigel Mansell and Alessandro Nannini were disqualified after starting from the pitlane before the race began. Both drivers had gone into the pits to change to slicks after the warm-up lap and when they got to the end of pit lane found no lights or officials stopping them from returning to the track (no lights is generally a sign the race had started). Despite the problem being caused by the race stewards not having the end of pit lane lights turned on, and pit lane officials not doing their job properly by stopping them from exiting the pits as the race had not started, Mansell and Nannini were still disqualified.
- Stefan Johansson was black-flagged because an air-line became attached to his car during a pit stop. He ignored the flag, and was disqualified as a result.
- Only fastest lap: Jonathan Palmer
- First podium: Scuderia Italia/Dallara
- Last points: René Arnoux
- First disqualification - Nigel Mansell
- Last disqualification - Stefan Johansson, Alessandro Nannini
- Other than disqualification or himself pulling out of a race in protest against the conditions, this would be the shortest race of Alain Prost's career with McLaren, lasting only until the start of the second lap before suspension failure when approaching the pits turn saw him pull into the pits and retire.
