The 1908–09 season was Manchester City F.C.'s eighteenth season of league football and sixth consecutive season in the top flight of English football.

In a season where they had almost the best home form in the league, only four teams won more games than them and only five teams scored more, City still finished 19th and became only the second team since the abolition of test matches eleven years earlier to be relegated on goal average - all of this arguably contributing to one of the earliest of the many bizarre circumstances in their history which has become known by supporters as "Typical City"[1].
