The 219th (Highland) Battalion, CEF was a unit in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War.

Based in Aldershot, Nova Scotia, the unit began recruiting in early 1916 throughout the province. After sailing from Halifax on October 13, 1916, to England on RMS Olympic, the battalion was based at Whitney Camp and then Camp Bramshott. The battalion was absorbed into the 17th Reserve Battalion on January 23, 1917, although a number of men were transferred to the 85th around the same time. The 219th (Highland) Battalion, CEF, had one Officer Commanding, LCol W. H. Muirhead.

The battalion is perpetuated by The West Nova Scotia Regiment.
