The 2009–10 Regionalliga season was the sixteenth since its re-establishment after German reunification and the second as a fourth-level league within the German football league system. It was contested in three divisions with eighteen teams each. The competition began on 7 August 2008 with the first matches of each division and ended on 29 May 2010.

The champions of the three 2008–09 Regionalliga divisions were promoted to the 2009–10 3. Liga. These were Holstein Kiel (North), Borussia Dortmund II (West) and 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 (South).

VfR Aalen and Stuttgarter Kickers were relegated from the 2008–09 3. Liga after finishing the season in the bottom two places. 18th-placed Wacker Burghausen were eventually spared from relegation after 5th-placed Kickers Emden voluntarily retracted their application for a license because of financial issues. Since Emden did not apply for a Regionalliga license, they were eventually moved to the fifth-tier Oberliga Niedersachsen.

Altona 93, Sachsen Leipzig, Energie Cottbus II (all North), BV Cloppenburg, 1. FC Kleve (both West), TSV Großbardorf and SpVgg Unterhaching II (both South) were relegated at the end of the 2008–09 season. Furthermore, FSV Oggersheim (West) and Viktoria Aschaffenburg (South) withdrew from the league due to financial issues.
