Victor Massé (born Félix-Marie Massé, Lorient, 7 March, 1822 - died Paris, 5 July, 1884) was a French composer.
Massé studied at the Paris Conservatoire, winning the Prix de Rome in 1844 for his cantata Le rénégat de Tanger before turning his attention to opera. While at the Conservatoire, Massé studied with Jaques Halévy. He wrote some twenty operas, including La chanteuse voilée (1850), followed by the more ambitious Galathée (1852). His best-known and most successful work was the opéra comique Les noces de Jeannette (1853). His last work, Une Nuit de Cléopâtre, was performed posthumously in April 1885.
Massé died in 1884 and was buried in the Cimetière de Montmartre in the Montmartre Quarter of Paris.
