The Informationsdienst gegen Rechtsextremismus (IDGR) (Information Service against Right-Wing Extremism) was a German-language internet portal devoted to collecting information about persons, organisations and publications thought to promote right-wing extremism, Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial. It was founded in 1998 and maintained until 2006 by Margret Chatwin.

In 2002, the IDGR recieved a price by the Bündnis für Demokratie und Toleranz, an initiative for supporting civil engagement against racism, extremism and antisemitism. Critics have accused the IDGR of engaging in unduly exposing and defaming individuals on the political right, and of being associated with far-left extremism.
