Season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance Canada is a dance reality show and competition that airs on CTV. It is hosted by ETalk correspondent and former MuchMusic VJ Leah Miller.

The series is based on the original American TV series So You Think You Can Dance. Auditions started April 4, 2009 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and ended in Montreal, Quebec on May 26, 2009.

The show premiered on August 11, 2009. With Fox Broadcasting Company announcing the season six premiere of So You Think You Can Dance on September 9, 2009, both shows aired concurrently. Changes to the season included the winner receiving $100,000, the title of Canada's favourite dancer, and both the winner and runner-up both received a 2010 Mazda 3 Sport. Repeats of the performance and results show aired a week later on MuchMusic. On October 25, 2009, Tara-Jean Popowich was announced as "Canada's Favourite Dancer", winning the grand prize; the runner-up was Vincent Desjardins.
