Hans Wolfgang Daigeler (February 21, 1945 – November 9, 1995) was a politician in Ontario, Canada. He served as a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1987 to 1995.
Daigeler was educated at the University of Würzburg in West Germany, the University of Fribourg in Switzerland and Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. He received a Doctorate in Theology, and worked as a research and planning officer. Daigeler was a Roman Catholic, and a member of the Knights of Columbus.
He was elected to the Carleton Separate School Board in 1982 and 1985. As a trustee, he took a particular interest in providing services for children with developmental disabilities. He was very active in the planning of the first Canadian Christian Festival, held in 1982 in Ottawa.
He ran for the Ontario legislature in the 1981 provincial election, and finished second against Progressive Conservative Bob Mitchell in the riding of Carleton (future New Democratic Party MP Judy Wasylycia-Leis finished third). He ran again in the 1985 provincial election, and finished a much closer second against Mitchell.
