We classify the affine actions of ${{U}_{q}}\left( sl\left( 2 \right) \right)$ on commutative polynomial rings in $m\,\ge \,1$ variables. We show that, up to scalar multiplication, there are two possible actions. In addition, for each action, the subring of invariants is a polynomial ring in either $m$ or $m\,-\,1$ variables, depending upon whether $q$ is or is not a root of 1.
