Victor Alexander Barton (born 6 October 1867 in Hound, Netley, Hampshire, England; died 23 March 1906 in Belle Vue, Southampton, Hampshire, England) was a cricketer who played for Kent County Cricket Club in 1889 and 1890 before committing himself to the Army. It was while he was in the Army that he was selected for the second England team to tour in 1891-92, which was a team that travelled to South Africa. The other side went to Australia. It was on the 1891-92 tour that Barton played one match that was later to be recognised as a Test match. He later went on to play for Hampshire between 1895 and 1902. Bedevilled by ill-health, Barton died aged 39.
