The 2009 PBA Fiesta Conference Finals is the championship best-of-7 series of the 2009 PBA Fiesta Conference, and the conclusion of the conference's playoffs. The series is a best of seven affair and is the 98th championship disputed in the league. The teams competing are first-seed San Miguel Beermen and the second-seed defending champions Barangay Ginebra Kings, two of the three San Miguel Corporation-owned teams.
This is the fourth time the two teams meet in the finals, with San Miguel winning their first two meetings (1989 Reinforced Conference and the 2001 All Filipino Cup). Barangay Ginebra won their latest finals meeting on the conclusion of the 2006–07 PBA Philippine Cup.
This is also the first time in PBA history that a champion of the previous year's Fiesta Conference was able to enter the finals to defend their crown.
After a full 7-game series, San Miguel held off Ginebra in game 7 with an emphatic 90–79 win, with Jonas Villanueva awarded as the Finals MVP.
