The 2009–10 UCF Knights men's basketball team was an NCAA Division I college basketball team that represented the University of Central Florida and competed in Conference USA. They played their home games at the UCF Arena in Orlando, Florida, and were led by head coach Kirk Speraw, who was in his 17th and final season with the team. In the previous year, the Knights finished the season 17–14, 7–9 in C-USA play.

In February 2012, UCF vacated its wins from the 2009–10 season after it was discovered that there was an ineligible player on the team.
