The 2019 Czech Darts Open was the ninth of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2019 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at the PVA Expo Praha, Prague, Czech Republic, from 28 to 30 June 2019. It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.

Jamie Hughes won his first PDC title with an 8–3 win over Stephen Bunting in the final.

Gerwyn Price hit the fourth nine-dart finish of the 2019 European Tour to beat Glen Durrant 6–4 in the second round. It was also the first of Price's career.

The tournament saw a new European tour record for the most seeded players losing their first match as 11 of 16 players including Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright lost in the second round. The previous record was set by the 2017 Dutch Darts Masters which involved 9 seeds being eliminated.

It was the first ever PDC tournament held in the Czech Republic.
