The 2009 Italian Grand Prix (formally the Formula 1 Gran Premio Santander d'Italia 2009)^[1] was a Formula One motor race held on 13 September 2009 at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, Monza, Italy. It was the 13th race of the 2009 Formula One World Championship. It was contested over 53 laps.

The race was won by Rubens Barrichello driving for Brawn GP. It would be the last win for Barrichello and for the team, and also the last time Barrichello finished on the podium. Teammate and Championship Leader Jenson Button came in second, completing Brawn's fourth (and last) one-two finish of the season, while the Ferrari of Kimi Räikkönen came third after reigning World Champion Lewis Hamilton crashed on the final lap.^[2] Hamilton's crash meant the race officially finished behind the safety car, despite the safety car not picking up the leader. Adrian Sutil, who finished in fourth place, recorded the first fastest lap of his career, and the first for the Force India team.

As of 2024^[update], this is the last race win for a Brazilian Formula One driver.
