Werner Münch (born 25 September 1940 in Kirchhellen, Province of Westphalia) is a German politician (CDU).
After serving as a soldier in the Bundeswehr (West German armed forces) for six years, Münch studied political science at the University of Freiburg and completed his Ph.D. at Osnabrück University in 1974. From 1972 on, he taught as a lecturer, and from 1976 as a professor of political science and sociology at the Catholic College of Northern Germany (Katholische Fachhochschule Norddeutschland) in Osnabrück/Vechta. He was the rector of that college from 1973 to 1978. In 1984 Münch was elected to the European Parliament where he was a member of the Christian democratic EPP group. He was re-elected in 1989 but resigned his seat in the European Parliament upon becoming a state minister in 1990. He motivated his step with the "loss of conservative skills" of the party under the leadership of Angela Merkel. As example he mentioned her critical words against Pope Benedict XVI.
