Gijsbertus "Ben" Verhagen (September 29, 1926, Rotterdam) is a sailor from the Netherlands, who represented his country at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Naples. Verhagen, as helmsman on the Dutch Flying Dutchman Daisy (H102), took the 5th place with crew Gerard Lautenschutz (race 1 - 5) and Jaap Helder (Race 6 & 7). During the 1964 Summer Olympics in Naples and 1968 Summer Olympics in Acapulco he again helmed Daisy (H157/H187), this time with crew Nick de Jong to, respectively an 6th and an 18th place.

For the 1976 Olympics Verhagen made an attempt in the Tempest but failed to qualify. He also tried the Soling in the late 1970's and the 1980's.
