The Albanian Superliga 2008–09 was the 73rd season of top-tier football in Albania and the eleventh season under the name Kategoria superiore. The season began on 24 August 2008 and ended on 23 May 2009. The defending champions were Dinamo Tirana.

KF Tirana won their 24th national league title and qualified for the UEFA Champions League; Vllaznia Shkodër, Dinamo Tirana and Albanian Cup 2008–09 winners Flamurtari Vlorë gained access to the UEFA Europa League. On the bottom end of the table, Lushnja and Elbasani were directly relegated. Bylis Ballsh and Partizani Tirana had to face teams from the First Division in relegation matches. Both teams lost and thus were demoted as well.

Besëlidhja Lezhë and Skënderbeu Korçë were directly relegated to the First Division after finishing 11th and 12th in the previous year's standings. They were replaced by First Division champions Bylis Ballsh and runners-up Apolonia Fier.
