Victor Zalazar (born 1935-07-24 in La Paz, Córdoba) is a former Argentine boxer, who won the bronze medal at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia.
Zalazar was known as "El Cacique", or "The Wild Bullet".
Zalazar turned pro in 1957 and won his first 15 fights before taking on Benny Paret in 1958. He lost two straight decisions to Paret, and his career went downhill following the losses.
