Ang Panahong PBA 2008-09 (Ingles: 2008-09 PBA season) ay ang ika-tatlumpu't apat na panahon ng Philippine Basketball Association. Nagsimula ito noong October 4, 2008. Ito ang kauna-unang pagkakataon na ang kaganapan ng pagbukas (opening ceremony) ng liga ay isinagawa sa araw ng Sabado. Ang liga ay sisimulan ng Philippine Cup at pagkatapos ay ang may import na Fiesta Conference.

Ang unang gawain ng panahong ito ay ang 2008 PBA Draft na nangyari noong August 31 sa Market! Market! sa Lungsod ng Taguig.

Ang Welcoat Dragons ay nagpalit ng pangalan at ginawa na Rain or Shine Elasto Painters (ang huli nilang bansag sa Philippine Basketball League), ang Magnolia Beverage Masters nama'y ibinalik ang kanilang dating pangalan na San Miguel Beermen.
