Sir Victor Brooke, 3rd Baronet
- Sir Victor Brooke, 3rd Baronet
Sir Victor Alexander Brooke, 3rd Baronet, (5 January 1843–27 November 1891) was a British naturalist and baronet. He was the father of Alan Brooke, 1st Viscount Alanbrooke and grandfather of the first Viscount Brookeborough, third Prime Minister of Northern Ireland.
Brooke studied at Harrow and then traveled abroad, being a keen sportsman who enjoyed big game hunting. His proposed work on antelopes remained unfinished at his death. The plates by Joseph Smit and Joseph Wolf were later reused in Philip Sclater and Oldfield Thomas's "The Book of Antelopes" (1894-1900).
Brooke married Alice Sophia, daughter of Sir Alan Edward Bellingham, 3rd Baronet, in 1864. After their marriage they settled at a villa in Pau, France. It was there that his sixth son, Alan - later Viscount Alanbrooke, was born. Brooke died of pneumonia in Pau in November 1891, aged 48, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son, Arthur. Lady Brooke died in July 1920.
