The 2019 Edmonton Eskimos season was the 62nd season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 71st overall. This was the fourth season under head coach Jason Maas and the third season under general manager Brock Sunderland.[1] The team finished with an 8–10 record and fourth in the West Division. Notably, the team had a 1–10 record against playoff-bound teams and their 3–7 divisional record included only wins against the BC Lions.

The Eskimos qualified for the playoffs, following a one-year absence, after their week 18 win against the BC Lions on October 12, 2019.[2] The team played in the East Semi-Final, earning a crossover spot in the 2019 playoffs, defeating the Montreal Alouettes in the East Semi-Final, but lost to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the East Final.

Following the season, the Eskimos parted ways with head coach Jason Maas. In addition, the 2019 season was the last season where the Eskimos team name was used, with an announcement during the suspended 2020 season the Eskimos name would be discontinued.[3]
