Victoria Mines, also called Victoria Mine, was a mining settlement and company town of the Mond Nickel Company in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Victoria Mine was located to the west of Whitefish on Fairbank Lake Road in the former municipality of Walden.
The settlement, along with the community of Mond, were established in 1899 for employees of Victoria Mine and the nearby smelter. With the closure of the smelter in 1913 and the mine in 1923, both towns were abandoned and the last house was removed from Mond in 1936.
