Walter Jung (8 August 1895 – unknown) was a German who became an early Nazi Party official and newspaper editor. He was the first (unofficial) Gauleiter in the Saar when it was being administered by France and the United Kingdom under a League of Nations mandate. Tried for defamation in 1929, he was expelled from the Party for distancing himself from antisemitic statements in an attempt to avoid punishment, and for criticism of the Party leadership.
