The European Parliament election of 1989 in Spain was held on Thursday, 15 June 1989, to elect the country's 2nd MEP delegation to the European Parliament. All 60 seats allocated to Spain as per the 1985 Treaty of Accession were up for election.

The election was largely influenced by a recent string of PP–CDS agreements to vote no confidence motions on PSOE local governments, which included the Madrid city council and regional governments. This was said to have influenced the election's outcome, which had resulted in a sizeable PSOE win and a collapse in support for both the PP and CDS. His party's showing in this election was said to be one of the reasons that led Prime Minister Felipe González to call a snap general election for 29 October 1989.
