The 2019 KNVB Cup final was a football match between Eredivisie clubs Willem II and Ajax that took place on 5 May 2019 at De Kuip, Rotterdam. It was the final match of the 2018–19 KNVB Cup, the 101st season of the annual Dutch national football cup competition.

The winners of this match would compete in the 2019 Johan Cruyff Shield and play in the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League, assuming they have not qualified for the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League. Since Ajax had qualified for the latter as 2018–19 Eredivisie champions, the spot for the winners were reverted to the league.
