Volker Münz (born 8 August 1964 in Verden (Aller)) is a German politician and banking professional associated with the nationalist faction Der Flügel within the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. He held a seat in the German Bundestag from 2017 until 2021.
Münz pursued studies in economics at Universität Hannover and later occupied a leadership role as department head at Hypovereinsbank.
In 2019, he voiced opposition to the nomination of Thuringia's parliamentary leader Björn Höcke for the position of AfD federal chairman, expressing concerns about escalating internal divisions and polarizing discourse. Münz criticized Höcke’s aggressive approach and its detrimental effects on party cohesion.
He re-entered the Bundestag in July 2024 as a successor to Marc Jongen, but declared in October 2024 his decision not to run for another term.
