Club Sportiv Victoria Vânju Mare, commonly known as Victoria Vânju Mare or simply as Victoria, is a Romanian football club based in Vânju Mare, Mehedinți County. Founded in 1960, it currently competes in Liga IV – Mehedinți County, the fourth tier of Romanian football.

The club was established in the early 1960s and before 1990 won four county championships, finally earning promotion to Liga III at the end of the 1985–86 season. After 1990, the club was re-organized as Real Vânju Mare and once again won the county league in 2002. In the same summer, the club was re-organized as Building Vânju Mare through a merger between Real Vânju Mare and Constructorul Drobeta-Turnu Severin.

Building initially played its home matches at the Municipal Stadium in Drobeta-Turnu Severin, later moving to Victoria Stadium in Vânju Mare and Dunărea Stadium in Orșova. At its best, Building played in the second tier, Liga II, but without achieving notable results. Building Vânju Mare was owned by Mihaela Giuca, the first woman to be in charge of a football club in Romania. The club was dissolved in 2009 but was re-founded in 2011 under the name Real Vânju Mare.

Real Vânju Mare played for a few seasons in the fourth division before being dissolved again in 2014. In 2018, the club was re-founded once more, this time under its historical name, Victoria Vânju Mare..
