The 2008–2009 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final was the senior and junior Grand Prix Final competition of the 2008–2009 figure skating season. It was the culminating competition of the 2008–2009 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating, a senior-level international invitational competition, and the 2008-2009 ISU Junior Grand Prix, a junior-level international competition. For the first time, the Grand Prix Final was a senior and junior level competition and the Junior Grand Prix Final was held concurrently with the senior Grand Prix Final.

Skaters had earned points towards qualifying for the senior Grand Prix Final at the 2008 Skate America, the 2008 Skate Canada International, the 2008 Cup of China, the 2008 Trophée Eric Bompard, the 2008 Cup of Russia, and the 2008 NHK Trophy. Skaters had earned points towards qualifying for the junior Grand Prix Final at each of the eight Junior Grand Prix events. The six highest ranking skaters/teams from the Grand Prix series and the eight highest ranking skaters/teams from the Junior Grand Prix met at the Grand Prix Final.

The Grand Prix Final was held in Goyang, South Korea from December 10–14, 2008. The event was organized by the Korea Skating Union. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing on the senior and junior levels.

Unlike the other events in both series, there was no compulsory dance portion of the competition. Ice dancers were ranked in the original dance starting order in reverse order of their qualification to the Final.
