Tommy Robinson has been charged with harassment causing fear of violence against two men in August last year.
The Crown Prosecution Service said the far-right political activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, had been charged on Wednesday.
The offences were allegedly committed between 5 and 7 August 2024.
He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 5 June 2025.
A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson said: “We have authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, 42, with harassment causing fear of violence against two men.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.”
Earlier this week judges ruled that Robinson could be released from prison early after his 18-month sentence for the civil offence of contempt of court was reduced by four months at the High Court.
He was jailed in October after admitting multiple breaches of an injunction made in 2021, which barred him from repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him for libel.
