Victoria Park is a public park located just to the north of Portsmouth Guildhall, adjacent to Portsmouth and Southsea railway station and close to the city centre in Portsmouth, Hampshire. It was officially opened on 25 May 1878 and was the first public park to be opened in Portsmouth. It was designed by Alexander McKenzie. The land had previously been the site of part of Portsmouth's defensive ramparts. The park has a brick and rubble lodge. A second lodge didn't survive to the present day.

The park is also home to a number of monuments, with several of them being listed buildings. in memorial of HMS Orlando.

At the start of December 2022 a £3.2 million redevelopment of the park began with DM Habens as the primary contractor.
