The Corus Chess Tournament 2009 was the 71st edition of the Corus Chess Tournament, later known as the Tata Steel Chess Tournament. It was held in Wijk aan Zee from 17 January to 1 February 2009.

The tournament was won by Sergey Karjakin. Karjakin entered the final round as one of six players in the joint lead, but was the only one to claim victory, defeating Leinier Domínguez to emerge sole winner.

Fabiano Caruana won the B section, having won the C section in 2008. Caruana was half a point behind Nigel Short, his final opponent, going into the last round. Caruana was outplayed, but Short missed two clear wins, and then a draw, handing the victory to his teenage opponent.
