The 2009 Colgate Raiders football team was an American football team that represented Colgate University during the 2009 NCAA Division I FCS football season. Colgate tied for second in the Patriot League.

In its 14th season under head coach Dick Biddle, the team compiled a 9–2 record. Pat Simonds was the team captains.
