Victor Dalby Lord is a fictional character and patriarch of the Lord family from the American soap opera One Life to Live.

An original protagonist on the series, Victor is introduced in the first episode as the preeminent mass media magnate[1] of fictional Philadelphia Main Line suburb Llanview, Pennsylvania. Victor was originally and most notably played by actor Ernest Graves. Graves debuted July 15, 1968,[2] and played the role until he left the series and last appeared in March 1974.[3]

Series creator Agnes Nixon and executive producer Doris Quinlan subsequently recast Victor to Shepperd Strudwick, who first appeared in December 1974[4] and played the role until the character's initial onscreen death in June 1976.[5]
