'''Holger Apfel''' (born 29 December 1970) is a German politician who was the leader of the [[far-right politics|far-right]] [[National Democratic Party of Germany]] (NPD) from 2011 to 2013. He was a member of the [[Landtag of Saxony|Saxon Parliament]] between 2004 and 2014, serving as the chairman of the NPD parliamentary group and a member of the presidium of the parliament.

Apfel became the NPD's national leader in 2011. On 19 December 2013, he resigned with immediate effect from his leadership positions at both the national and the state level, before leaving the party entirely five days later. He resigned from the Saxon Parliament on 17 January 2014. He was parodied as the leader of the NDP in the 2015 film [[Look Who's Back (film)|''Look Who's Back'']] as the character "Ulf Birne".
