The 1989 Morehead State Eagles football team represented Morehead State University as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) during the 1989 NCAA Division I-AA football season. Led by sixth-year head coach Bill Baldridge, the Eagles compiled an overall record of 1–10, with a mark of 0–6 in conference play, and finished seventh in the OVC. Morehead was found to have played an ineligible player, and as a result forfeited four of their victories.[1][2]
