Star Awards 2009 (Chinese: 红星大奖 2009) was a television award ceremony held in Singapore. It was part of the annual Star Awards organised by MediaCorp for its Chinese language division (Channel 8 and Channel U). Star Awards 2009 was telecasted 'LIVE' on Channel 8, 26 April 2009 at 1900 hrs, where the results were announced. A post show party was held after the awards ceremony and telecasted on Channel U at 2200hrs. President Sellapan Ramanathan and Acting Minister of Information, Communications and the Arts Lui Tuck Yew were present for the awards ceremony.

The nomination lists for the main categories were announced on 24 February 2009. Nominations for the popularity awards (Top 10 Most Popular Male and Female Artistes) were announced on 27 March 2009.

Unlike previous years, most technical category awards were presented at the actual ceremony. The Best Info-Ed Programme Host award was introduced to recognise infotainment show hosts.

This is the first Star Awards to be held in April and will recognise achievements from the year 2008. All Star Awards ceremonies after this will be in April instead of December like in previous years.

All winners are highlighted in BOLD.

This award is a special achievement award given out to a veteran artiste(s) who have achieved a maximum of 10 popularity awards over 10 years.

MediaCorp artistes would receive the All-Time Favourite award in place of the Top 10 Most Popular Artistes Award once they receive the popularity award for a total of 10 years. They would not be receiving any more popularity awards after receiving this award. This system is implemented so as to let younger MediaCorp artistes have a chance to win the popularity awards as well.

"Best Actor in a Leading Role" Award (最佳男主角).

Award presented by: Kathy Chow, David Chiang
