The 2009–10 St. Louis Blues season was the 43rd season for the NHL franchise in St. Louis, Missouri.

The Blues relieved coach Andy Murray of his duties on January 2, 2010, after a below expectation record (17–17–6, 40 points), sitting in 12th place in the Conference. Especially galling were the frequent blown leads after two periods, and with the worst home record (6–13–3, including one win in Sweden) in the entire NHL. Named as interim head coach is Davis Payne, who becomes the 23rd head coach in the Blues' history. Payne was the head coach of the Blues main farm team, the Peoria Rivermen of the American Hockey League.^[1] After the season, Payne was named as Head Coach, removing the interim tag.^[2]

The Blues hired goaltending consultant Tyler Love on January 18, 2010.^[3]

Keith Tkachuk announced his retirement from hockey on April 7, 2010, three days before the final game of the season, April 10, which he declined to play.^[4] The Blues saluted him in a tribute after the last home game, his final game ever in the NHL on April 9.^[5]
