The 1908–09 Chicago Maroons men's basketball team represented the University of Chicago in intercollegiate basketball during the 1908–09 season. The team finished the season with a 12–0 record and was retroactively named the national champion by the Helms Athletic Foundation and the Premo-Porretta Power Poll. This was the third consecutive season for which Chicago was later named the Helms national champion. The team played their home games on campus at Frank Dickinson Bartlett Gymnasium.
