The Amazing Race 9 is the ninth installment of the American reality television show The Amazing Race. The season featured eleven teams of two, all with pre-existing relationships, in a race around the world for a US$1 million grand prize. The show premiered on Tuesday, February 28, 2006, and concluded on May 17, 2006.

Best friends B.J. Averell and Tyler MacNiven were the winners of this Race.

A DVD set of this season was released on October 23, 2012, via Amazon.com's CreateSpace program.

The Amazing Race 9 lasted 27 days during which participants traveled over 59,000 miles (95,000 km). Filming ran from November 7 to December 3, 2005. The race visited ten countries on five continents, three of which were new to the race: – Greece, Japan and Oman. Also included as race destinations were Australia, Brazil, Germany, Italy (Sicily), Russia and Thailand. This season of the Race had the second longest course; The Amazing Race 5 was the longest to date.

This season of the race was the first (and to date, the only) one to start and end at the same location: Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the world-famous outdoor concert venue outside Denver. Other seasons have started and ended in the same city (Season 1 in New York City and Season 6 in Chicago), but the location of the start and finish lines were different.

This was the first season in which the teams had to drive themselves at least once in every leg.
