The 2009 FIA WTCC Race of Germany was the ninth round of the 2009 World Touring Car Championship season, and the fifth running of the FIA WTCC Race of Germany. It was held on 6 September 2009 at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben near Oschersleben, near Magdeburg in Germany. The races were won by BMW drivers Andy Priaulx and Augusto Farfus.
SEAT Sport driver Yvan Muller arrived at Oschersleben after a seven-week break with a five-point lead over teammate Gabriele Tarquini, with Augusto Farfus a further point behind.
A field of 27 cars made the trip to Oschersleben. Making their World Touring Car Championship debuts in Germany were reigning European Touring Car Cup champion Michel Nykjær for Perfection Racing in a Chevrolet Lacetti, and fellow Danish Touring Car Championship frontrunner Jason Watt in a privately run SEAT León. Driving the SUNRED Engineering guest car for SEAT León Eurocup drivers was Jean-Marie Clairet. Meanwhile, James Thompson missed the event as he prepared for the Phillip Island 500K V8 Supercar race. This meant that regular Lada Sport drivers Jaap van Lagen and Kirill Ladygin were driving the new Priora model for the first time along with team principal Viktor Shapovalov, who returned to driving duties.
