2009–10 RIT Tigers men's ice hockey season

The 2009–10 RIT Tigers men's ice hockey team was the Tigers' 45th season of varsity hockey and fifth at the NCAA Division I level. They represented Rochester Institute of Technology in the 2009–10 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The team was coached by Wayne Wilson in his eleventh season as the program's head coach and played most of their home games at the Frank Ritter Memorial Ice Arena. One home game was played at the Blue Cross Arena in downtown Rochester, New York.
The season was highlighted by the Tigers' first Atlantic Hockey tournament title, first Division I NCAA Tournament appearance, victories over Denver and New Hampshire to win the East Regional, and the team's first Frozen Four appearance.
The team was the Chairman's Choice for induction into the Frontier Field Walk of Fame in 2010, in recognition of their Frozen Four berth.
