Victor Edward Dodsworth (2 November 1911 – 4 November 1986) was an English footballer who played for Grimsby Town. He also played cricket for Lincolnshire. Dodsworth started his professional career at Gainsborough Trinity as an inside forward, before signing for Grimsby Town in 1931 in preference to Liverpool.

He helped Grimsby to win the Second Division title in 1933–34. Dodsworth signed for Manchester United in 1935 along with teammate Ron Ferrier, but did not make a first team appearance and subsequently transferred in January 1936 to Doncaster Rovers for an undisclosed club record fee.

In June 1937, after an injury hit season, Dodsworth turned down a new contract from Doncaster to pursue a career with Grimsby Police.
