Perovskite oxynitrides $AB$(N,O)$_{3}$, a crucial class in materials science, have attracted much attention. By precisely controlling $A$- and $B$-site ions and tuning the N/O ratio, new materials with exotic charge states and intriguing electronic behaviors can be designed and synthesized. In this work, a novel oxynitride perovskite, CeNbO$_{2}$N, was prepared under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. The compound crystallizes in an orthorhombic perovskite structure in Pnma symmetry with disordered N/O distribution. The x-ray absorption spectroscopy confirms the presence of a Nb$^{4+}$ state with 4d$^{1}$ electronic configuration in CeNbO$_{2}$N. As a result, the resistivity of CeNbO$_{2}$N is sharply reduced compared to its counterpart CeTa$^{5+}$ON$_{2}$ and other Nb$^{5+}$ compounds. No long-range spin order is found to occur with the temperature down to 2 K in CeNbO$_{2}$N, while a remarkable negative magnetoresistance effect shows up at lower temperatures, probably due to the magnetic scattering arising from short-range spin correlations.
