Catherine Helen Dahlheimer Hagel (born November 28, 1894) is an American supercentenarian. She was born in Dayton, Minnesota, and is currently, at age 130, the third-oldest validated person in the world since the death of Edna Parker on November 26, 2008. Hagel is the second oldest validated person in the United States. On February 9, 2008, Hagel became the oldest person ever in the state of Minnesota. This record was assumed from her sister-in-law Delvina Dahlheimer. Hagel was a farmer, and did not stop farming until she was age 100, when she moved to the North Ridge Care Center in New Hope, Minnesota. She planted a sizeable garden, sewed, quilted and visited relatives. Her father, who died in the mid 1950s, was 95 at the time. She had 11 children with her husband, John, who died in 1966 at age 74, nine of whom were still living as of early 2008. She takes no medications. Her oldest living daughter, Cecilia Gulczinski, was, as of September 2008, 90 years old.

As of November 2008, Hagel is listed as one of the 70 longest lived people ever.
