Victor Daly (died 1986) was an American author, soldier, and civil rights activist. He fought for the United States Army in World War I. After the war, Daly worked for the literary magazine The Messenger in New York City for about a year. He moved to Washington, D.C. in 1922, where he worked in the Department of Labor. While in D.C., Daly was involved in the founding of the American Bridge Association and the Riverside Golf Club, organizations created by and for Black people in response to the segregation of contract bridge game and golf, respectively.
Daly wrote a fictional novel based on his experiences fighting in World War I, titled Not Only War: A Story of Two Great Conflicts. Published in 1932, the book was the first written by a Black author about the Black experience in the war.
