A formula for an improved spin--dependent potential between a heavy quark and a heavy antiquark was developed using Heavy Quark Effective Theory techniques. The leading logarithmic quark mass terms emerging from loop contributions were explicitly extracted and summed up. There is no renormalization scale dependence in this new formula and it includes both the Eichten--Feinberg formula as well as the one--loop QCD result as special cases. The hyperfine splittings were calculated using the spin--spin part of this improved formula. For charmonium the $J/\psi$-$\eta_c$ $S$-wave splitting agrees well with the data while the energy difference $\Delta M_P$ between the center of gravity of the $1^3P_{0,1,2}$ states and the $1^1P_1$ state has the correct sign but is somewhat larger than the experimental value; however, there are also several other contributions to $\Delta M_P$ of comparable magnitude ($\sim 1$ MeV), which we discuss. The corresponding mass differences for the $b\bar{b}$ and $b\bar{c}$ mesons are also predicted.
