The 2009 MLS SuperDraft took place on January 15, 2009 in St. Louis, Missouri. It was the tenth annual Major League Soccer SuperDraft. The first selection is owned by the expansion Seattle Sounders FC. Unlike previous years, the Superdraft will no longer be followed by the Supplemental Draft due to roster changes for the 2009 season decreasing the number of developmental spaces.^[1]

Players marked with an asterisk after their previous club affiliation were contracted under the Generation Adidas program.
