Victor A. Hanson (July 30 1903 – April 10 1982) was a well-known multi-sport college athlete in the 1920s. At Syracuse University (1923-27) he played basketball, football and baseball, and captained all three sports.

The Watertown, New York native is one of Syracuse's greatest all-around athletes (see Jim Brown for another all-around great). He was named an All-American in both basketball and football three consecutive times (1925-27). Following his college career, he shortly played with the Cleveland Rosenblums in the American Basketball League (1925-1955), but then formed a basketball team by himself, the All-Americans of Syracuse. He was also signed by the New York Yankees and played two years for themFact|date=September 2007.

While at Syracuse, Hanson was admitted to the Zeta Psi fraternity.

Hanson is the only player in history to be enshrined in both the Basketball Hall of Fame (1960) and the College Football Hall of Fame (1973).
