The 1989 Women's World Snooker Championship was a women's snooker tournament that took place from 14 to 21 October 1989. It was the 1989 edition of the World Women's Snooker Championship, first held in 1976.[1][2] The event was held at the Pontins resort in Brixham.[3]

The tournament was won by defending champion Allison Fisher, who defeated Ann-Marie Farren 6–5 in the final and received £3,500 prize money. This was Fisher's fourth world snooker title in five years, and she would go on to win a total of seven championships before focusing her efforts on pool in the United States from 1995.[4][2][5][6]
