  IGR J19140+0951 was discovered by INTEGRAL in 2003 in the 4-100 keV band.
Observations with INTEGRAL and RXTE provide a tentative identification as a
high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) with a neutron star as accretor. However, an
optical counterpart was thus far not established, nor was the presence of a
pulsar which is commonly observed in HMXBs. We observed IGR J19140+0951 with
Chandra and find the source to be active at a similar flux as previous
measurements. The lightcurve shows a marginally significant oscillation at 6.5
ks which requires confirmation. We determine a sub-arcsecond position from the
Chandra data and identify the heavily reddened optical counterpart 2MASS
19140422+0952577 in the 2MASS catalog. Optical follow-up observations with the
William Herschel Telescope at La Palma exhibit a continuum spectrum coming out
of extinction above 7000 Angstrom without strong absorption or emission
features. V, I and Ks band photometry point to an optical counterpart extincted
by A[V]=11+/-2. The extinction is consistent with the interstellar value. None
of the data reject the suspicion that IGR J19140+0951 is an HMXB with
additional circumstellar obscuration around the accretor.
