A Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19 (Orosz: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-19; A NATO jelentési neve: Farmer) egy szovjet második generációs, együléses, két sugárhajtású vadászrepülőgép. Ez volt az első szovjet repülőgép, amely képes szuperszonikus sebességre a repülés során. Egy hasonló amerikai "Century Series" vadászgép az észak-amerikai F-100 Super Sabre volt, bár a MiG-19 elsősorban a modernebb McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II-t és a Republic F-105 Thunderchief-et ellenezte Észak-Vietnam felett.

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19 was a Soviet fighter aircraft that entered service in 1955. It was the first Soviet aircraft to achieve supersonic speeds in level flight, and the world’s first mass-produced supersonic fighter. The MiG-19 had a single-seat cockpit, a mid-wing configuration with swept-back wings, and two Mikulin AM-5 turbojet engines with afterburners.
The MiG-19 was armed with two or three 30 mm cannons, and could also carry rockets, bombs, or air-to-air missiles. The MiG-19 was widely exported to various countries, and saw combat action in several conflicts, such as the Vietnam War, the Six-Day War, and the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The MiG-19 was also produced under license by China as the Shenyang J-6, which remained in service until the 21st century.
