Karen Dahl (born 1955) is a Canadian ceramics artist.

Born in Winnipeg, Dahl attended the University of Regina, graduating in 1978.[1] She was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 2007, recognizing "her knack of turning mundane objects into nostalgic or beautiful works of art".[2] Dahl produces highly realistic ceramic imitations of books, fruits, tools and toys in a context that is destabilizing and creates a hyper-reality. [3] Her work was exhibited at Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany. [4]
