Abigail Helen Kapiʻolani Kawānanakoa (1903–1961) was a member of the House of Kawānanakoa and 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 Kuaihelani Campbell Parker, on February 8, 1908. Her name was changed to Kapiʻolani Campbell after her adoption. Only a few months after her adoption Kapiʻolani would lose both her father and grandmother. After her grandmother's death, her widower Samuel Parker petitioned to be granted Kapiʻolani's guardianship, but her mother was declared as her guardian instead. Her siblings were David Kalākaua Kawānanakoa and Lydia Liliʻuokalani Kawānanakoa.
Kapiʻolani 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 (1926–98), and Esther Kapiʻolani Kawānanakoa Marignoli (born 1928).
Among other things, from 1945 she was the Regent of the Hale o na Alii o Hawaii (House of Chiefs of Hawaii).
