Anas Urbaningrum (born 15 July 1969) is an Indonesian politician who is the chairman of the Nusantara Awakening Party. He was the chairman of the Democratic Party (Partai Demokrat),[1] the party who won Indonesia's general election in 2009, between 2010 and 2013. Elected at the age of 40, he was one of the youngest party leaders in Indonesia. Before this, he was the head of the Democratic Party's national division on Political and Regional Autonomy, and also the head of the Democratic fraction in House of Representatives (DPR) of the Republic of Indonesia.

Anas was elected to become a member of Indonesia's Parliament during the election of 2009 from the election region of East Java VII, which includes the Blitar City, Blitar Regency, Kediri City, Kediri Regency, and Tulungagung Regency obtaining the highest votes. He has since resigned from this position in the Parliament following his election as party chairman. After being named a graft suspect by Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for allegedly taking a bribe in relation with the construction of the Hambalang sports complex, he resigned from the post of the Democratic Party chairman on 23 February 2013.

In September 2014 he was sentenced to 8 years in prison for corruption. He was released on 10 July 2023.
