Inger Støjberg is a Danish politician who was a government minister in the Danish Parliament.

A member of the Danish Parliament from the 2001 elections to 2021, she was a member of the liberal Venstre party until 4 February 2021, but left after a majority of the party's MPs voted to impeach her for an order she gave while serving as minister for immigration.

In June 2022, Støjberg founded a new party, the Denmark Democrats.[3] In the general election in November 2022, they won 14 seats.
