Cyril Charles Hackett (13 October 1904 – 12 December 2005) was an Estmero-Imaguan politician in both the United Provinces and independent Sainte-Chloé. He served as a Legislative Councilor for the United Provinces from 1945-1954, choosing to remain even after Imagua's succession, and was the only remaining Imaguan to support the adoption of the new Constitution in the 1953 Constitutional Crisis. He was made a citizen of Sainte-Chloé and became a Senator with the creation of an independent republic in 1954. He became a cabinet minister in the government of Raymond Rivière, functioning as the country's first Transportation Minister, eventually rising to the position of Interior Minister in 1959. He was a candidate for leadership in the 1966 leadership challenge in the Catholic Labour Party following Rivière's retirement, but was ultimately unsuccessful, and left office in 1969. During his tenure, he is known for assisting in repairing of relations of Sainte-Chloé with Imagua and for overseeing successful developments of infastructure during the early indepedent state.
