The 2008–09 Utah Jazz season was the 35th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 30th since the team moved from New Orleans to Salt Lake City for the 1979–80 season.

For the third straight year, the Jazz made the playoffs, but as the number 8 seed. The Jazz were quickly knocked out of the playoffs with a defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers in the opening round, losing in five games, and having their season ended by the Lakers for a second consecutive time. The Lakers would go on to win their 15th NBA Championship in the NBA Finals, defeating the Orlando Magic in five games.
