The Victoria is a Grade II listed public house at 10a Strathearn Place in Bayswater, London, England. It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.{{NHLE|desc=The Victoria public house|num=1109949|access-date=22 May 2014}}{{cite book|last1=Brandwood|first1=Geoff|title=Britain's best real heritage pubs|date=2013|publisher=CAMRA|location=St. Albans|isbn=9781852493042|pages=57–58}}

The pub was built circa 1840–50, and has four above ground storeys, with bars on ground and first floors, plus a dining room on the first floor. It has a rounded frontage on an acutely angled corner site between Strathearn Place and Sussex Place, extended by two bays to the former and one to the latter side. The pub's ground-floor interior was remodelled circa 1897-8, although it does include some remnants of the original interior. The first floor rooms, and especially the Theatre Bar, contain many interior elements from the Gaiety Theatre, installed in the pub circa 1958, after the theatre had been demolished.

The pub is owned and operated by Fuller, Smith & Turner, trading under the Fuller's brand.{{cite web |url=https://www.victoriapaddington.co.uk/ |title=The Victoria |publisher=Fullers |access-date=6 September 2022 |archive-date=6 September 2022 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220906133448/https://www.victoriapaddington.co.uk/}}
