The 2019 ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup (also known as the 2019 Lion ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup for sponsorship reasons) was a table tennis competition that took place from 5–7 April in Yokohama, Japan. The event was organised by the Japan Table Tennis Association (JTTA), under the authority of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) and the Asian Table Tennis Union (ATTU). It was the 32nd edition of the event, and the fourth time that it had been held in Japan.

Men's singles and women's singles events were held, and the three medallists in each event qualified automatically for the 2019 Men's and Women's World Cups.

In both the men's and women's singles events, the reigning Asian Champion and Asian Cup Champion have been invited to take part, along with the 10 highest-ranked Asian players in the January 2019 ITTF World Ranking. The final four places were awarded to regional representatives from Middle Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and West Asia. Qualification was subject to a maximum of two players from any association.
