Magdalena Caballero (July 22, 1925 – March 11, 2006) was a Mexican luchadora, or professional wrestler commonly known under her ring name La Dama Enmascarada (Spanish for "The Masked Lady"). Caballero was a relative of professional wrestler Irma González as well as González's daughter Irma Aguilar although it is unclear exactly how they were related.
Caballero was one of the pioneers of women's professional wrestling in Mexico, credited as the first Mexican National Women's Champion at a time when female wrestling was banned in Mexico City. She began her career as a masked wrestler, but lost her mask in 1958 to Irma González, and would later wrestle under the mask again. She also appeared in three Lucha films: Las Lobas del Ring, Las Luchadoras contra La Momia and Las Luchadoras contra el Médico Asesino.
