Ōsaka 19th district (大阪府第19区, Ōsaka-fu dai-jūkyū-ku or simply 大阪19区, Ōsaka-jūkyū-ku) is a single-member electoral district for the House of Representatives, the lower house of the national Diet of Japan. It is located in southern Osaka and consists of the cities of Kaizuka, Izumisano, Sennan, Hannan and the towns of Kumatori, Tajiri and Misaki in the former county of Sennan. As of September 2012, 307,237 eligible voters were registered in the district.

Before the electoral reform of the 1990s, the area had formed part of the five-member Osaka 5th district.

Election results

Note: The decimal votes (anbunhyō, "proportional fractional votes") stem from the fact that in this case the given names Takashi and Yutaka are the reading of the same Chinese character 豊, and some voters apparently voted for 豊 without specifying a family name.
