Top Model, cycle 9 is the ninth cycle of an ongoing reality television series based on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model that pits contestants from Poland against each other in a variety of competitions to determine who will win the title of the next Polish Top Model.

Joanna Krupa, who also serves as the lead judge, returned to host the ninth cycle. Other judges included fashion designer Dawid Woliński, fashion show director Kasia Sokołowska and photographer Marcin Tyszka. This is the sixth season of the show to feature male contestants.

Among the prizes for the season were a contract with Models Plus Management, an appearance on the cover of the Polish issue of Glamour, and 100,000 złotys (US$30,000).

The international destination for this cycle was Athens, Vouliagmeni & Hydra. The winner of the competition was 19 year-old Mikołaj Śmieszek, from Rabka Zdrój.
