The 2019 Belgian Cup final, named Croky Cup after the sponsor, was the 64th Belgian Cup final and took place on 1 May 2019 between Gent and KV Mechelen. KV Mechelen was the first team from outside the top division to qualify for the cup final since the 2001 Belgian Cup Final when Belgian Second Division champions Lommel lost to Westerlo. KV Mechelen won the cup by two goals to one.
KV Mechelen qualified on 29 January 2019 and played its sixth final, losing on all previous occasions except for the 1987 Belgian Cup Final, where they beat RFC Liège by 1–0. Gent qualified one day later following a win on penalty kicks against Oostende. Gent played their fifth final, winning already on three occasions, most recently they won the 2010 Belgian Cup Final against Cercle Brugge with a convincing 3–0 result.
