The '''2009 UCI ProTour''' was the fifth series of the [[Union Cycliste Internationale|UCI]] [[UCI ProTour|ProTour]]. Two new teams, the American {{UCI team code|GRM|2009}} and the Russian {{UCI team code|KAT|2009}}, joined the ProTour, effectively taking over the licenses of {{UCI team code|C.A|2008}} and {{UCI team code|GST|2008}}. Two existing teams changed title sponsors: {{UCI team code|SAX|2008a}} from Denmark became {{UCI team code|SAX|2009}}, and {{UCI team code|FUJ|2008a}} changed name to {{UCI team code|FUJ|2009}}. As in 2008, the races organized by the three Grand Tour organizers were not part of the ProTour. Rather than a ranking based only on the ProTour, the UCI designed a World Calendar, on which the [[cycling classics|Monument events]] and [[Grand Tours]] were included, with a corresponding [[2009 UCI World Ranking]].

The first race was the [[2009 Tour Down Under]] in January, and the series ended with the [[2009 GP Ouest-France]] in August.
