The 2009 UCLA Bruins baseball team represented the University of California, Los Angeles in the 2009 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Bruins played their home games in Jackie Robinson Stadium, and finished the season with a 27–29 overall record. With a 15–12 record in conference play, UCLA tied Oregon State as the #3 team in the Pacific-10 Conference, behind #1 Arizona State and #2 Washington State. Even though UCLA won the three-game season series 2–1, Oregon State was invited to the 2009 NCAA Division I baseball tournament instead of UCLA due to their better overall record (37–19).

Previous season

The Bruins completed the 2008 season with a 33–27 overall record, and finished third in the Pac-10 Conference behind #1 Arizona State and #2 Stanford. The 2008 season ended at the Fullerton Regionals when the Bruins lost two games in a row to Cal State Fullerton.
