Gudrun Veronika Kugler, née Lang, also known as Kugler-Lang (born 12 November 1976, Gmunden, Upper Austria), is an Austrian politician.

Kugler is known for her involvement in the pro-life movement and her work combatting human trafficking,[1] the death penalty,[2][3][4] and her efforts in preserving marriage as the union between one man and one woman.

[13] In 2015, she was elected to the Viennese municipal council for the ÖVP, receiving 1,652 "preference votes" added to ballots by voters by hand.

[14] In October 2017, she surprised political observers when she won a direct seat in the National Council elections in a traditionally social-democratic stronghold in Vienna.

[28] Kugler is also known for her critique of China's human rights violations,[29] and for her ambitions to strengthen the collaboration between Central- and Eastern European states.

[31][6][9][32][33] Kugler attended the first meeting of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights on "intolerance and discrimination against Christians" as a representative of the Documentation Centre.

She is a supporter of the American officer Kim Davis, who refused to issue marriage certificates to homosexual couples because of her Christian faith and so was temporarily jailed.
