The 22-year-old Djokovic earned his fourth title of the season with a victory that ended Federer's run of three straight titles at the tournament in Basel.
Federer fought back from a break down to win the second set, but Djokovic raced to a 4-0 lead in the decider and closed out the victory after Federer wasted three break points in the sixth game.
Serbia's Nenad Zimonjic and his partner Daniel Nestor of Canada won their eighth tournament of 2009 on Sunday at the Swiss Indoors.
The top-seeded pair cruised to a 6-2, 6-3 win over their arch rivals, Bob and Mike Bryan, in the final match.
