The 1889 South Australian Football Association season was the 13th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia.

Adelaide merged with North Adelaide, formerly called Hotham and no relation to the current team, after North Adelaide(Hotham) had spent two seasons in the S.A.F.A.
