The 2009–10 Detroit Pistons season was the 69th season of the franchise, the 62nd in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 53rd in the Detroit area.

The Pistons missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2000–01 NBA season. The Pistons finished with their most disappointing record since 1994–95 when they finished 28–54. Prior to the season, Allen Iverson signed with the Memphis Grizzlies, citing his displeasure at being a bench player. However, he would leave the Grizzlies 2 months after signing with the team for the same reason.
