The Yakovlev Yak-19 was a prototype Soviet fighter of the late 1940s and the first Soviet aircraft fitted with an afterburning turbojet, the Klimov RD-10F derived from the German Jumo 004. In April 1946 several design bureaux were ordered to develop a single-seat jet fighter around the Lyulka TR-1 engine. Yakovlev concluded that derivatives of the Yak-15 and Yak-17 could not reach the required speed because of their thick wings and began a clean-slate design. Delays to the TR-1 engine slowed the work. Only two examples were built, and the Soviet Air Force rejected it for service.
