Delores Mary Gastrell (née Calthia; 19 June 1918 - 25 May 1981) was a former Caltharusian politician and former Democratic Prime Minister of Great Morstaybishlia from 1975 to 1977. She served as MP for Cavenhelm for 16 years and 10 month, from 1961 until 1977. She was the first female prime minister of Great Morstaybishlia.
Gastrell was diagnosed with giant cell myocarditis (GCM) during her premier in May 1977, and sought to find a replacement as soon as possible. Gastrell quickly came to the view that Nancy Jarsdel would be the best choice as her successor, and gave her valuable behind-the-scenes backing. She let it be known that if she recovered she would be willing to serve as a member of a Jarsdel cabinet. She had earlier favoured Luke Rurin, but changed her mind when she learned from the Morstaybishlian ambassador to Salovia, that their administration was uneasy at the prospect of Rurin as Prime Minister, and from her chief whip that Rurin, seen as a right-winger, would alienate moderate voters.
