Victor Henry du Chateau (1 August 1911 – 29 September 2005) was a New Zealander who played six first-class cricket matches for Wellington between 1932 and 1940.[1]

A left-handed opening batsman, du Chateau played two matches for Wellington in 1932-33 and one in 1936-37 with no great success. Playing for Wellington College Old Boys, he began the Wellington club season in 1939-40 with three centuries, and at one stage had scored 475 runs at an average of 158.33.[2] He was subsequently selected for all three Plunket Shield matches in 1939-40, but made only 83 runs.[3]

He served as a gunner in New Caledonia during the Second World War.[4]
