The 2008–09 figure skating season began on July 1, 2008, and ended on June 30, 2009.
During this season, elite skaters competed on the Championship level at the 2009 European, Four Continents, World Junior, and World Championships.
As this was a pre-Olympic season, skaters qualified entries to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games at the 2009 World Championships.
Those who turned 15 before July 1, 2008 were also eligible for the senior World, European, and Four Continents Championships.
