Venera 2MV-1 No.1,^[2]^[1] also known as Sputnik 19 in the West, was a Soviet spacecraft, which was launched in 1962 as part of the Venera programme.

Due to a problem with its upper stage it failed to leave low Earth orbit, and reentered the atmosphere a few days later.^[3] It was the first of two Venera 2MV-1 spacecraft, both of which failed to leave Earth orbit.^[1]
