The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019 was the seventeenth edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, held on 24 November 2019 at the Gliwice Arena in Gliwice, Poland, and presented by Ida Nowakowska, Aleksander Sikora, and Roksana Węgiel. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Telewizja Polska (TVP), who staged the event after winning the 2018 contest for Poland with the song "Anyone I Want to Be" by Roksana Węgiel. It was the first time that the contest was hosted in Poland, as well as the first Eurovision event to be held in the country since the Eurovision Young Dancers 2013.

Broadcasters from nineteen countries participated in the contest, with Spain taking part for the first time since 2006,^[1] while Azerbaijan and Israel did not return to the contest after having participated in 2018.

The winner was Poland with the song "Superhero" by Viki Gabor, making Poland the first country to win the Junior Eurovision Song Contest two years in a row and the first country to win on home soil. Kazakhstan placed second, their best result. Returning country Spain placed third. The Netherlands and France completed the top five.
