Victor Okechukwu Agali (born December 29, 1978 in Okpanam) is a football striker from Nigeria. He has played for Nigeria at a number of occasions, including the 2000 Summer Olympics. He was surprisingly omitted from the 2002 FIFA World Cup squad.

At the age of 17, Agali was the top goalscorer in the Nigerian second division, and was picked up by French club Olympique Marseille. Finding it hard to establish a first team place, he played for Toulon, where he performed well. He attracted interest from Italian giants AC Milan, but ended up in Germany. In the 2003/04 season he went AWOL and fell out of favour at Schalke 04, his club. From 2005 to 2007 he played in the Turkish Premier Super League, returning to German Bundesliga-team Rostock in August 2007.
