Sir Victor Alexander Brooke, 3rd Baronet, (5 January 1843 – 27 November 1891) was a British naturalist and baronet. He was the grandfather of Basil Brooke.
Brooke studied at Harrow and then travelled abroad, being a keen sportsman who enjoyed big game hunting. After marriage he settled at a villa in Pau, where he died of pneumonia.
His proposed work on antelopes remained incomplete at his death. The plates by Joseph Smit and Joseph Wolf were later reused in Philip Sclater and Oldfield Thomas's The Book of Antelopes (1894-1900).
