The 2008 Triple J Hottest 100, revealed on 26 January 2009, represented the sixteenth iteration of the annual ranking of the most favored tracks as chosen by the audience of Australian broadcaster Triple J.

Significantly, 2008 was the inaugural year in which Triple J made public the entire list beyond the top 100, termed the "Hottest 200," which was published online the day following the primary countdown.

Voting commenced on Boxing Day, 26 December 2008, and concluded on 18 January 2009. The latter portion of the countdown was aired live from Parramatta Park, New South Wales, featuring live coverage from the Big Day Out event held at Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne.

This edition set a new benchmark with over 800,000 votes submitted, highlighting strong listener participation and considerable market impact.
