Vicki Susan Buck (born 16 July 1955) is a New Zealand politician. She was Mayor of Christchurch for nine years from 1989 to 1998. Prior to being Mayor, Buck was a city councillor for the Pegasus ward, having been elected as the youngest city councillor in New Zealand at the age of 19. She retired after three mayoral terms, having been very popular.

Buck made a political comeback in the 2013 local elections, as a city councillor for the Riccarton-Wigram ward, and returned the highest number of votes across all city wards. Subsequent to the election, she accepted the deputy mayor role. She decided not to stand in the 2019 local elections, marking the end of her councillorship.
