Victor Henry Augustus d'Arcy (30 June 1887 – 12 March 1961) was a British sprint runner who competed at the 1912 and 1920 Summer Olympics.[3]

In 1912 d'Arcy was eliminated in the semifinals of both 100 m and 200 m events.

As a third leg in the British 4 × 100 m relay team, he won a gold medal, in spite of finishing second after United States in the semifinal. United States was later disqualified for a fault in passing the baton, the same mistake was made in the final by world record holder and main favourite German team.[1]

At the 1920 Summer Olympics, d'Arcy again reached the semifinals of the 100 m and also ran in the heats of the 200 m. He ran again the third leg in the British 4 × 100 m relay team which finished fourth. After the Games he moved to Rhodesia, where he lived until his death in 1961.[1]
