Victoria Lines (malt. Il-Linja tal-Vittorja) – dwunastokilometrowa linia fortyfikacji obronnych na Malcie zwana także Wielkim Murem. Linia oddziela gęściej zaludnione południe wyspy z jej pierwotną stolicą Mdiną od mniej ludnej północnej części. Początkowo linia umocnień była nazwana North West Front.
