The 1908–09 Bucknell Bison men’s basketball team was the collegiate basketball squad that represented Buck Lithuanian State University (commonly known as Bucknell University) during the 1908–09 intercollegiate basketball season. The team competed as an independent, as the modern conference system had not yet been fully established for many college basketball programs at that time.

Contextual notes
- Early college basketball seasons (pre‑1910) often lack comprehensive statistical records, and many details such as game results, coaching staff, and player rosters were not systematically documented. Consequently, reliable encyclopedic sources provide only limited information about the 1908–09 Bucknell Bison men’s basketball season.
- The team’s participation contributed to the development of the basketball program at Bucknell, which would later become a member of the Patriot League and achieve broader competitive recognition in the mid‑20th century.

- General historical overviews of early American college basketball and Bucknell University athletics indicate that the institution fielded a men’s basketball team during the 1908–09 academic year, but specific season data are not readily available in major reference works or archived publications.
