The Adelaide United W-League 2009 season is Adelaide United's second consecutive season in the W-League.

This season saw drastic squad changes after a disappointing inaugural season, including new signing Christina Papageorgiou taking the captaincy. However, Adelaide still struggled in the league failing to win a single game. Despite this, they still managed to finish 7th ahead of the Newcastle Jets in their best finish to date.

Racheal Quigley was named Adelaide United 2009/10 Westfield W-League Most Valuable Player.
