The 2009–10 season was the 104th season in Atlético Madrid's history and their 73rd season in La Liga, the top division of Spanish football. It covers a period from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010.

Atlético salvaged a largely disappointing season, thanks to a late resurgence resulting in the UEFA Europa League title, following a 2–1 final victory against Fulham. During the course of the tournament, Atlético overcame Liverpool among others, much thanks to Diego Forlán's goalscoring talent. Forlán scored the winning away goal against Liverpool in the extra-time during the semis, as well as two goals against Fulham, culminating in another extra time-winner.
Elsewhere, Atlético reached the final of Copa del Rey, where it lost to Sevilla. The league and Champions League runs were disappointing, however, not winning a single game in Champions League, and just finishing in the top half of the league.
