Sydney—Victoria was a federal electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1997 to 2025. It was created in 1996 from parts of Cape Breton—The Sydneys, Cape Breton—East Richmond and Cape Breton Highlands—Canso electoral districts. Its first Member of Parliament (MP) was Peter Mancini and its final MP was Jaime Battiste.

After the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, this district was replaced largely by Sydney—Glace Bay. The new urban district represents most of the former Industrial Cape Breton area. Sydney—Glace Bay ceded most of Cape Breton—Victoria's rural areas to the new Cape Breton—Canso—Antigonish district. Sydney—Victoria was abolished when the writ dropped for the 2025 Canadian general election on 23 March 2025.
