Gaspar Fagel (January 25, 1634, The Hague - December 15, 1688) was a Dutch statesman. Fagel was born into a distinguished patrician family.

He was elected Pensionary of Haarlem in 1633 and as such member representative of the States of Holland. In 1670, he was made Greffier (secretary) of the Staten-Generaal and in 1672 after the resignation and subsequent murder of de Witt Grand Pensionary. He was distinguished for his integrity and the firmness with which he repelled the attempts of Louis XIV of France against his country, and for his zeal in supporting the claims of the Prince of Orange to the English throne.
