Bernardo O. Dagala (August 20, 1869 – August 16, 1966) was a Filipino politician who lived in and served as the municipal president of Malabon from 1903 until 1905, when Malabon annexed its neighbor Navotas through the Philippine Commission Act No. 942.[1]

A native of Navotas, Dagala opposed the annexation and campaigned for its independence. In 1906, Navotas was again granted independence as a distinct municipality through Philippine Commission Act No. 142.[2]
