Victor Sterki (26 September 1846 in Solothurn, Switzerland – 25 January 1933 in New Philadelphia, OH)[1] was a malacologist from Switzerland who lived in the United States.[2]

He worked as an assistant in the Section of Invertebrates in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History from 1909 to 1933.[1]

Malacological collections by Sterki of Pupillidae have 4000 lots and of Sphaeriidae have 12,000 lots.[1] Both collections are deposited in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.[1]

The malacological journal Sterkiana and the land snail species Guppya sterkii were named after him.[3][4]
