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 state association developed so strongly towards the right-wing, that the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution has classified and is monitoring the party as a "secure right-wing anti constitutional effort" in 2023. The party has been labeled as a far-right organization.
