Jürgen Zelm (born 23 January 1953) is a German football official and former politician.

Zelm was a functionary of the Free German Youth (FDJ), the only legal youth movement in East Germany, in Bezirk Neubrandenburg in the 1980s. During the Peaceful Revolution, he rose to become the last First Secretary of the Bezirk Neubrandenburg Socialist Unity Party (SED). He remained politically active in the SED's successor party, the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS) even after German reunification, becoming chair of their Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state branch and being elected to the Landtag of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

He left politics in May 1991, after it was revealed he had collaborated with the Stasi. Since then, he has worked as a football trainer and official for the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Football Association.
