2019 Belgian Athletics Championships

The 2019 Belgian Athletics Championships (Dutch: Belgische kampioenschappen atletiek 2019; French: Championnats de Belgique d'athlétisme 2019) was the national outdoor track and field championship for Belgium. The competition took place on August 31 and September 1, 2019, at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.

The event was organized by the Royal Belgian Athletics Federation (LBFA/VVAL). It featured various disciplines, including sprints, middle-distance and long-distance running, hurdles, jumps, and throws. As a primary national competition, it served as a platform for athletes to achieve qualifying standards for international tournaments, most notably the 2019 World Athletics Championships held in Doha, Qatar.

Notable performances during the championships included Ben Broeders setting a national record in the pole vault and Nafissatou Thiam competing in the shot put and long jump disciplines rather than the heptathlon. The championships are held annually, with the location typically alternating or centering on major athletic facilities in the country.
