Paris's 19th constituency was one of the 21 French National Assembly constituencies in the Paris department in the period 1988 to 2012. It was abolished in the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies, which reduced the number of constituencies in Paris to 18. The territory of the 19th constituency, in the north of Paris, corresponds almost exactly with the post-2012 17th constituency.

After the 1986 French legislative election, the new Prime Minister Jacques Chirac re-established the two-round single-member district electoral system. The number of deputies from Paris was maintained at 21 and the previous (pre-1986) electoral constituencies were therefore reduced from 31 to 21. The whole of the former 27th, part of the former 28th and part of the former 29th constituencies formed the new nineteenth constituency.^[1] From the 1988 election to the 2010 redistricting, the constituency covered two districts of the 18th arrondissement (Goutte-d'Or and La Chapelle) and one district of the 19th arrondissement (La Villette).^[2]

In 1999, the Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques estimated the population of the constituency as 106,141 inhabitants.^[3]
