Victoria Dubourg or Victoria Fantin-Latour (December 1, 1840 – September 30, 1926) was a French flower painter.

Dubourg was born in Paris and trained with Fanny Chéron, copying old masters such as Willem Kalf in the Louvre.[1] There she met the painter Henri Fantin-Latour, whom she married in 1876. She collaborated with him on floral paintings, but also produced works under her own name that she signed "V Dubourg".[1]

Her painting A Basket of Flowers was included in the 1905 book Women Painters of the World.[2]
