The 1909 Alberta general election was the second general election held in the Province of Alberta, Canada on March 22, 1909, to elect 41 members of the Alberta legislature to the 2nd Alberta Legislature. The election in the Athabasca electoral district was conducted on July 15, 1909, due to the remoteness of the riding. After the election, the Liberal government under Premier Rutherford was struck with the Alberta and Great Waterways Railway scandal shortly after the election which divided the party. Rutherford resigned in 1910 and was replaced as Premier by Arthur Sifton.
