The Buffalo Bandits are a lacrosse team based in Buffalo, New York playing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2019 season was their 28th season in the NLL.

Two seasons after finishing with the worst record in the NLL, the Bandits finished the season with a league-best 14–4 record, a 1st-place finish in the East, and the first seed in the playoffs. Buffalo took care of the New England Black Wolves in the Eastern division semi-final, 13–6, which was followed up by defeating the Toronto Rock in the Eastern Division final, 12–8, to advance to the NLL Finals, where they would face the Calgary Roughnecks.

Despite holding home-floor advantage, the Bandits would be swept by the Roughnecks in the championship series, losing in overtime in Calgary in Game 2.
