Victor de la Cruz Ocampo (March 06, 1952 – March 16, 2023) was a Filipino bishop of the Catholic Church who served as the Bishop of Gumaca from September 3, 2015 until his death on March 16, 2023.
Prior to his installation as Bishop of Gumaca, Ocampo served as priest of the Diocese of Balanga for 38 years from November 5, 1977 to September 3, 2015, being the first to be ordained as priest in the diocese two years after it was canonically erected which separated Bataan from the Archdiocese of San Fernando, Pampanga on November 8, 1975. He also served as the sede vacante diocesan administrator of Balanga during the 8 months and 3 days (245 days) vacancy of Balanga Cathedral, the office of the diocese's bishop, between a day after the November 4, 2009 transfer of Socrates Villegas to Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan for his current position to the installation of Ruperto Santos into office as fourth bishop from November 5, 2009 to July 8, 2010.
Ocampo is the first from the Diocese of Balanga to serve as bishop outside its jurisdiction Bataan, and the ecclesiastical province of San Fernando where the diocese is part of (Diocese of Gumaca being a suffragan or part of the ecclesiastical province of Lipa, Batangas).
