We report the discovery of TOI-2119b, a transiting brown dwarf (BD) that orbits and is completely eclipsed by an activeM-dwarf star. Using light-curve data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission and follow-up high-resolution Doppler spectroscopic observations, we find the BD has a radius ofRb= 1.08 ± 0.03RJ, a mass ofMb= 64.4 ± 2.3MJ, an orbital period ofP= 7.200865 ± 0.00002 d, and an eccentricity ofe= 0.337 ± 0.002. The host star has a mass ofM⋆= 0.53 ± 0.02M⊙, a radius ofR⋆= 0.50 ± 0.01R⊙, an effective temperature ofTeff= 3621 ± 48K, and a metallicity of. TOI-2119b joins an emerging population of transiting BDs around M-dwarf host stars, with TOI-2119 being the ninth such system. These M-dwarf–brown dwarf systems typically occupy mass ratios nearq=Mb/M⋆≈ 0.1−0.2, which separates them from the typical mass ratios for systems with transiting substellar objects and giant exoplanets that orbit more massive stars. The nature of the secondary eclipse of the BD by the star enables us to estimate the effective temperature of the substellar object to be 2030 ± 84K, which is consistent with predictions by substellar evolutionary models.
