The 2009 Summer Deaflympics (Chinese: 2009年夏季聽障奧林匹克運動會; pinyin: 2009 Nián Xiàjì tīngzhàng àolínpǐkè yùndònghuì), officially known as the 21st Summer Deaflympics was an international multi-sport event from 5 to 15 September 2009 in Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China). It was the third Summer Deaflympics to be held in the Asia-Pacific region. Judo, karate, and taekwondo have been recognized as new summer disciplines in the Deaflympics sports competition program.
The 21st Summer Deaflympics Games were originally scheduled to be held from 9 to 21 October 2008 in Beijing, but was decided to withdraw and host it in 2009 due to the schedule of 2008 Summer Olympics.
