Agnes Almendras Magpale (born Agnes Dimataga Almendras on January 21, 1942) is Filipina educator, farmer, and retired politician who previously served as Acting Governor (2012–2013), Vice Governor (2011–2019), and Board Member (1992–2001; 2004-2011) of the Province of Cebu.
Magpale entered politics in Danao City, serving as its Vice Mayor, after which she was elected as Board Member representing Cebu's 5th district from 1992 until 2001, and again from 2004 until 2011. Following her 2010 election as the Board Member with the highest number of votes, Magpale succeeded as Vice Governor following the death of incumbent Gregorio Sanchez Jr. in May 2011, and became Acting Governor in December 2012 during the suspension of Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, serving all in all three offices within a single three-year term.
Magpale was elected to two more terms as Vice Governor in 2013 and 2016 alongside her ally and running mate Governor Hilario Davide III. Following her gubernatorial run in 2019 and subsequent loss to Garcia, Magpale retired from politics after 34 years in public service.
