The T-19 was a Soviet Union tank design of the interwar years. Conceived as the mainstay of the new Soviet tank armies, it was a development of the T-18 tank and was ultimately based on the First World War era French Renault FT-17 tank. When ready for production in 1931 it was already obsolete and the project was terminated in favour of the Vickers based T-26.
