Marc Stephan Jongen (born 23 May 1968) is a German politician (AfD). From 2003 to 2017 he was a research assistant for philosophy at the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe.
Jongen is regarded as a "party philosopher" of the right-wing AfD, having been called "chief ideologue" or "thought leader".[1] He was the chairman of AfD Baden-Württemberg from March 2017 to February 2019 and has been its Deputy State leader ever since. With relatively high ranks on the AfD BW state list of candidates, he got elected to the Bundestag for the first time in the 2017 federal election, again in 2021, and to the European Parliament in 2024. His seat in the Bundestag was taken by Volker Münz.
