Klaus Junge (1 January 1924 – 17 April 1945) was one of the youngest Chilean-German chess masters.
In 1928 his parents and their five sons returned to Germany.

On 11–20 August 1939, he, along with Wolfgang Unzicker (14 years old), Edith Keller (17), Rudolf Kunath (15) and Karl Krbavic (17), played in Fürstenwalde (Jugendschachwoche) near Berlin.
In several tournaments during the 1940s he held his own among the world's leading players.
An officer in the Wehrmacht, he died during the Battle of Welle shortly before the end of World War II.
