Victor J. Orena (born August 4, 1934), also known as "Little Vic", is an American mobster who became the acting boss of the Colombo crime family of New York City. A challenge by Orena to boss Carmine Persico triggered the Third Colombo War (1991–1993), one of the bloodiest Mafia wars of the late 20th century and the most recent major mob war in New York to date, which resulted in 12 murders.
