National road 19 (Polish: Droga krajowa nr 19) is part of the Polish national road network. The highway connects the north-eastern and southern regions of Poland, running from Kuźnica at the Belarus border to Barwinek at the Slovak border, traversing through the Podlaskie, Masovian, Lublin and Podkarpackie voivodeships. National road 19 is part of European highway E371.
Before 1986, the section between Lublin and Rzeszów was road 26, and between Lublin and Radzyń Podlaski was road 24. The remaining length of the route did not have the status of national road. After renumbering of roads, route 19 near Białystok led in the direction of Augustów, Suwałki, to the border in Budzisko (today's road 8 E67). Later changed course from Białystok towards Sokółka to the border in Kuźnica (former road 18). In 2014 road 19 was extended from Rzeszów to the Slovak border at Barwinek, replacing a section of road 9.
