Andrej Holm (born 1970) is a German sociologist and former Stasi officer.
He first came to public attention in 2007, when he was arrested and imprisoned for several weeks on terrorism charges; in 2010 the investigation of him was ended due to lack of evidence.
For around one month in 2016/2017 he was under-secretary for housing for the far-left party Die Linke, the successor of the East German Communist Party, in the local government of Berlin, a controversial appointment, until he was dismissed in January 2017 over revelations about his Stasi past and the ensuing scandal.
In 2017 he was also dismissed from his position as a research assistant at the Humboldt University of Berlin by the university's president Sabine Kunst due to providing false information about his past in the Stasi and for refusing to acknowledge and apologize for his wrongdoings.
On 9 February 2017 Holm acknowledged in a written statement that he had lied about his Stasi past and expressed his regret over his actions, both his service in the Stasi itself and his later untruthfulness about it.
As a result, the university reduced its disciplinary action to a final warning and a suspension until the end of 2018.
