The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) held their fifth dispersal draft on December 14, 2009.

This dispersal draft re-assigned players from the Sacramento Monarchs who folded in November 2009, prior to the start of the 2010 WNBA season. The remaining twelve active teams in the WNBA each selected one player from the 2009 Monarchs roster in the one-round draft. Teams drafted in inverse order of their 2009 regular season finish. All Monarchs players were available except for unrestricted free agents, Kara Lawson, Ticha Penicheiro, and Hamchetou Maiga-Ba.
