Jürgen Ponto (17 December 1923 Bad Nauheim, Hesse - 30 July 1977 Frankfurt am Main) was a German banker and since 1969 chairman of the Dresdner Bank board of directors.
He was murdered by members of the Red Army Faction in events leading up to the German Autumn.
On Saturday 30 July 1977, Ponto and his wife Ignes were at their Oberursel villa packing for a vacation in Rio de Janeiro, but were also expecting a visit from Susanne Albrecht, the daughter of a good friend of the Pontos.
It is thought that Albrecht and her accomplices attempted to kidnap Ponto, and after he resisted they shot him.
The three killers fled the villa, and escaped with their getaway driver Peter-Jürgen Boock.
