Urban Jürgensen (5 August 1776 – 14 May 1830) was a Danish watchmaker. The company bearing his name was originally founded by Urban's father in 1773. Urban Jürgensen's son Louis Urban Jürgensen took over the design and production after Urban's death under the name "Urban Jürgensen & Sønner", while the other son Jules Frederik Jürgensen went on to establish watch production in Switzerland. Founded in Copenhagen, the company later moved to Switzerland.
