# 2009 European Athletics Indoor Championships – Women's 1500 metres

The Women's 1500 metres event at the 2009 European Athletics Indoor Championships was held on March 6–7.

## Doping

Anna Alminova won the event and was awarded the gold medal, but was disqualified in 2014 after the IAAF in 2014 handed her a doping ban caused by abnormalities in her biological passport profile. All her results from 16 February 2009 onwards were annulled.

Natalia Rodríguez (gold), Sonja Roman (silver) and Roísín McGettigan (bronze) received their medals by mail.
