The '''2008 Bahrain Championship''' was a professional [[Snooker world rankings|ranking]] [[snooker]] tournament that took place between 8 and 15 November 2008 at the [[Bahrain International Exhibition & Convention Centre|Bahrain International Exhibition Centre]] in [[Manama]], [[Bahrain]]. It was the fourth ranking event of the [[Snooker season 2008/2009|2008/2009 season]].

Due to a clash with a previously arranged [[2008 Premier League Snooker|Premier League]] match-day, three leading players ([[John Higgins]], [[Mark Selby]] and [[Ding Junhui]]) were forced to miss the event. This meant that they earned no ranking points, with [[Matthew Stevens]], [[Ken Doherty]] and [[Jamie Cope]] (ranked 17, 18 and 19 respectively) qualifying automatically due to the extra spaces in the draw. Likewise, the players ranked from 33–35 and 49–51 played one qualifier less than usual. Additionally, [[Ronnie O'Sullivan]] withdrew three days before the tournament for unspecified medical reasons.<ref>{{cite news|last=Everton|first=Clive|title='Run down' O'Sullivan out of Bahrain tournament|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2008/nov/04/snooker|publisher=[[guardian.co.uk]]|accessdate=1 November 2011|location=London|date=4 November 2008}}</ref>

[[Steve Davis]] was also involved in Premier League action, playing on 13 November, but did not withdraw from the tournament. He played his qualifying match and received a walkover due to O'Sullivan's withdrawal, meaning that he reached the last sixteen. However, before his last 16 match he withdrew from the event as an ear infection prevented him from flying to Bahrain.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ear infection forces Davis out |url=http://www.sportinglife.com/snooker/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=snooker/08/11/10/SNOOKER_Bahrain.html |publisher=[[Sporting Life (British newspaper)|Sporting Life]] |accessdate=1 November 2011 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081204043607/http://www.sportinglife.com/snooker/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=snooker%2F08%2F11%2F10%2FSNOOKER_Bahrain.html |archivedate=4 December 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[Liang Wenbo]] made the 65th official [[maximum break]] during his qualifying match against [[Martin Gould]]. This was Liang's first official 147. [[Marcus Campbell]] made the 66th official maximum break during his wildcard round match against [[Ahmed Basheer Al-Khusaibi]]. This was Campbell's first official 147.
 
[[Neil Robertson]] won his third ranking title by defeating [[Matthew Stevens]] 9–7.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/snooker/7731830.stm|title=Robertson takes title in Bahrain |date=2008-11-15|work=[[BBC Sport]]|accessdate=2009-04-20| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20090311163954/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/snooker/7731830.stm| archivedate= 11 March 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref>
