Jörg Urban (born 4 August 1964) is a German politician for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and is party leader of the AfD in Saxony. He has been a member of the Landtag of the Free State of Saxony since 2014. Under Urban's leadership, the Saxon AfD moved so strongly towards the right wing that the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution has categorised and is monitoring the party as a "proven right-wing anti constitutional effort" in 2023. The party has been labeled as a far-right organization.
