We have identified Swift/BAT detected source as a new hard X-ray bright polar. The BAT source, Swift J2319.4+2619, is located at 23 19 29.1 +26 19 03 (J2000) with an uncertainty of 6 arcmin radius. The BAT 15-100 keV spectrum can be fit with a power law (photon index 2.7) or a bremsstrahlung (kT=19 keV) with a 15-50 keV flux of 1.05 x 10-11 ergs cm-2s-1. This is not a spectrum typical of a BAT Seyfert galaxy.
