Jürgen Haase (born 19 January 1945) is a former track and field athlete and Olympian, who, competing for East Germany, was among the world's best long distance track runners in the 1960s and 1970s. Twice during this period, in 1966 and 1969, he was European champion in the 10,000 meters.
Jürgen Haase placed 15th in the 10,000 metres at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico, when the former GDR started as an independent team for the first time. He participated in three European Championships, winning gold medals in the 10K in 1966 and 1969, adding a silver medal in 1971.
But it was Jurgen Haase, fresh from a new European record of 28:04.4 in July, who was most fancied. The 24-year-old German was the current European 10,000 champion too, having outsprinted the field after a big battle with Roelants of Belgium. The veteran Roelants was also in the field again.
