Martin Michael Sellner[1] (born 8 January 1989) is an Austrian far-right political activist, and leader of the Identitarian Movement of Austria, which he cofounded in 2012.[2][3][4] He is also involved in an important role within the Neue Rechte in Germany.[5][6] He is considered part of the alt-right movement.[7][8][9]

In March 2018, he was denied entry to, and deported from, the United Kingdom.[10][11][12] A year later, he was denied entry to the United States because of a connection to the Christchurch shooter.[13] In March 2024, the city of Potsdam tried to ban Sellner from entering Germany for 3 years, because of his speech on "remigration" at the 2023 Potsdam far-right meeting, that ban was revoked by a German court in late May 2024. Sellner believes in the Great Replacement conspiracy. Also in March 2024, Sellner was arrested by Swiss police while he was giving a speech at an event of the Swiss Identitarian organization.
