The AfD Brandenburg is the Brandenburg state association of the right-wing populist and Far right German party Alternative for Germany (AfD). Andreas Kalbitz served as state chairman until his membership was annulled on July 25, 2020. With Alexander Gauland, the state party ran for the first time in the 2014 state elections and entered the Brandenburg state parliament. For the 2017 federal election, Gauland also led the state list as co-leading candidate in the federal government, through which five representatives entered the 19th Bundestag.

The state association has been under observation by the Brandenburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution since mid-June 2020 as a suspected case of right-wing extremist activity.
