Princess Abigail Helen Kapiʻolani Kawānanakoa (1903–1961), was the eldest daughter of Prince David Kawānanakoa and Princess Abigail Campbell Kawānanakoa.

She was born in Honolulu, Oahu, on March 14, 1903, and was adopted by her maternal grandmother, Abigail Campbell Kuaihelani Maipinepine Kalaikini Campbell Parker, on February 8, 1908. According to some she became the head of the House of Kawānanakoa, the Royal House of Hawaii, upon the death of her younger brother Prince Edward David Kalākaua Kawānanakoa on May 20, 1953. Her younger sister was Princess Helen Lydia Liliʻuokalani Kawānanakoa.

The younger Princess Abigail married twice: first to Andrew Anderson Lambert (Honolulu, Oahu, March 25, 1900 - Kailua, Honolulu County, Oahu, March 15, 1966) in 1922, whom she divorced, and later to Harry Montague Norman Gooding Field (died Honolulu, Oahu, May 23, 1964), educated at Punahou School, Honolulu, Oahu, and Oregon State University at Corvallis, Oregon, President of the Hawaiian Civic Club from 1952 to 1953 and Senator of the Hawaii State Senate between 1963 and 1964. She had three children by her first husband: Edward A. Kawānanakoa, Virginia Poʻomaikelani Kawānanakoa (1926–1998), and Esther Kapiolani Kawānanakoa Marignoli (born 1928).[1]

Among other things, from 1945 she was the Regent of the Hale o na Alii o Hawaii (House of Chiefs of Hawaii).

Upon her death in Honolulu, Oahu, on April 8, 1961, her eldest son Edward A. Kawānanakoa became the most senior native Hawaiian and heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi.
