Shipwrecked: Battle of the Islands 2019 is a United Kingdom reality television series, part of the Shipwrecked franchise which originally aired on Channel 4's youth programming label T4 in different formats from 1999 until 2012. The 2019 series is the ninth series of Shipwrecked overall, and the fifth to adopt the "Battle of the Islands" format.[1]

The series was confirmed by Channel 4 on 22 May 2018 with castaway auditions and filming for the series commencing in Summer 2018. It began airing on 28 January 2019, at 9pm on E4, and aired every weeknight for 15 episodes,[2] concluding on 15 February 2019. The series was narrated by Vick Hope.

The series was the first series of Shipwrecked to air since Shipwrecked: The Island concluded on 31 January 2012 and the first revived series of the "Battle of the Islands" format since 2009.

The Tigers won against the Sharks sharing the £50,000 prize.[3] On 15 July 2019, it was announced that the revived show had been axed due to low ratings.[4]
