California's 19th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California, currently represented by Democrat Zoe Lofgren. The district covers much of Santa Clara County, including most of the city of San Jose.

Prior to redistricting in 2011, the district covered Mariposa and Tuolumne counties and parts of Fresno, Madera, and Stanislaus counties. As of 2012, the areas comprising the former 19th district were incorporated into 4th, 10th, 16th, 21st, and 22nd districts.

For much of the 20th century prior to the early 1990s, the district had encompassed areas to the south and much of Los Angeles County, California. Gradually it was redefined to take in central and northern counties instead.
