Victor Wolfgang von Hagen (February 29, 1908 - March 8, 1985) was a US-American explorer, archaeological historian, anthropologist and travel writer who travelled the South Americas with his wife Christine. Mainly between 1940 and 1965 he published a large number of widely acclaimed books about the ancient people of the Inca, Maya and Aztecs.

In the early 1950s, he went for a two year exploration of Peru's ancient Inca roads and found the only surviving suspension bridge of this trail.

His daughter, Adriana von Hagen, is co-director of a museum in Leymebamba (Peru).
