The 1989 Italy rugby union tour of Argentina was a series of matches played in June 1989 in Argentina by the Italy national rugby union team.

The tour went well for Italy, following several prior years of poor results. Italy won the first four matches and lost only against Cordoba (led by Diego Dominguez, the future fly half of Italy) and the "Pumas".
