OGLE-2006-BLG-109L is a star in the constellation of Sagittarius.

The star is surrounded by a planetary system consisting of at least two planets: b with a mass of approximately 0.71 of Jupiter and c with the mass of approximately 0.27 of Jupiter. Both planets were discovered simultaneously by gravitational microlensing in a common effort by the OGLE, microFUN, MOA, PLANET and RoboNet collaborations, as announced on 14 February 2008.
