Ursula Haubner (born December 22, 1945) is an Austrian politician of the Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ), formerly of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ). Haubner is married with two daughters and three grandchildren. Her younger brother is former FPÖ and now BZÖ party chairman Jörg Haider.

Haubner was born in Bad Goisern, Upper Austria, to enthusiastic Nazis, and took her Matura exams in Bad Ischl in 1963. A former teacher, local politician, and a member of government (Staatssekretärin) since February 2003, she was appointed Federal Minister of Social Affairs in January 2005, succeeding Herbert Haupt, whom she had already followed as party chairperson in June 2004.

Ursula Haubner joined her brother Jörg Haider when he decided to split off from the Freedom Party to create the Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ).
