The 2009 Hard Justice was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, which took place on August 16, 2009 at the TNA Impact! Zone in Orlando, Florida.[1][3] It was the fifth event under the Hard Justice chronology.[4] Nine professional wrestling matches were featured on the event's card.

The main event saw Kurt Angle defending his TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Sting and Matt Morgan in a 3 – way match.[5] Kevin Nash defeated Mick Foley to win the TNA Legends Championship. Other matches featured on the card included a Falls Count Anywhere match and a singles match. In the first, The Main Event Mafia (Booker T and Scott Steiner) defeated Team 3D (Brother Ray and Brother Devon) to retain the Tag Team championships. The second was for the TNA X Division Championship, in which Samoa Joe defeated Homicide to win the championship.

The event featured the debut of D'Angelo Dinero in TNA, who had previously worked for the WWE.[6] The event was released on DVD on October 20, 2009 by TNA Home Video.[7]
