Victor Albert "Vic" Gonsalves (20 October 1887, Cheribon – 29 August 1922, Amsterdam)[1] was a Dutch amateur association football player. Between 1906 and 1923 he played 86 matches for HBS Craeyenhout. He was nicknamed "de Prins" (the Prince) and known as a midfielder with a decent pass.[2]

He made his debut for the Netherlands in 1909 away to Belgium, which the Dutch won 1–4.[3] A month later he received his second cap in a 4–0 home loss against England.[4] His third and final cap was a 3–2 defeat against Belgium in 1910.[5][6] Gonsalves was a part of the Dutch Olympic team which won the bronze medal in the 1908 tournament;[7] however, since he was a reserve player and did not play in a match, he was not given a medal.[8][9][10]

He suffered with health problems and died at the age of 34.[2]
