Victor Westhoff (12 November 1916, Situbondo, Dutch East Indies - 12 March 2001, Zeist) was a botanist at the Radboud University Nijmegen.

Westhoff published 700 scientific papers on phytosociology and conservation, as well as articles on classical music. He was a member of the International Association for Vegetation Science.

Between 1934 and 1942, Westhoff studied biology at Utrecht University and plant sociology with Josias Braun-Blanquet. In August 1945, Westhoff presented a paper, "Het biosociologisch onderzoek van natuurmonumenten" that became a significant work behind nature conservation in the Netherlands.
