The Victorian Socialists (VS) is an Australian political party based in the state of Victoria. The party's stated aims are "to put politicians on a worker's wage so they live like the rest of us" and "to get socialists into parliament who will fight to make workers richer and billionaires poorer".^[3]

As of November 2024, the party's only elected representative is Owen Cosgriff, who was elected to Greater Bendigo City Council at the 2024 local government elections.
