2008–09 ISU Speed Skating World Cup – Women's 1000 metres

Christine Nesbitt of Canada won the cup, while fellow Canadian Kristina Groves came second, and Laurine van Riessen of the Netherlands came third.

Defending champion Anni Friesinger of Germany was injured in bicycle accident in the summer of 2008, leading to an operation to her right knee.^[2] Having recovered, she made a strong return to the World Cup towards the end of the season, and finished in eighth place after winning the last two races.
