The 2009 Kansas State Wildcats football team (variously "Kansas State", "KSU", "K-State", or "Wildcats") represented Kansas State University in the 2009 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Wildcats played their home games in Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium, in Manhattan, Kansas as they have done since 1968. It was the 114th season in school history.

The non-conference schedule kicked off with a home game against the UMass Minutemen, and culminated with the second trip in school history to Los Angeles, California to play UCLA in the Rose Bowl. (They played at USC in 2001). The Big 12 Conference schedule began with a trip to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri to play the Iowa State Cyclones. It was K-State's third trip to Arrowhead Stadium to play a regular season game. They played the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Eddie Robinson Classic in 2000 and the California Golden Bears in the BCA Classic in 2003. Kansas State has also participated in two Big 12 Championship Games at Arrowhead Stadium, in 2000 and 2003. They finished the regular season on November 21 with a trip to Lincoln, Nebraska and faced the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
