Victoria Forde (April 21, 1896 – July 24, 1964) was an American silent film actress.
Born in New York City, Victoria was the daughter of Broadway actress Eugenie Forde who got her into films at the age of fourteen with Biograph Studios. In 1912, still only sixteen years old, she signed with Nestor Studios to make comedy films under director Al Christie. That same year, her mother made her film debut, appearing with her daughter in the film "A Pair of Jacks." During her five year stay with Nestor, during which time she moved to Hollywood with the studio, Al Christie would direct her in one hundred and sixteen short films.
Victoria Forde joined Selig Studios and became a star of Western films, frequently performing opposite cowboy actor Tom Mix. A personal relationship developed between her and Tom Mix and in 1917 the two signed with the Fox Film Corporation where they continued to perform together. She became his fourth wife in 1918 and the following year, after having performed in one hundred and seventy six film shorts, she gave up her film career to stay at home with their daughter, Thomasina. The marriage ended in divorce in 1931.
On her passing in Beverly Hills in 1964, Victoria Forde was interred in the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California.
