Victor Sallami (born 1939) is a Lovian-Moroccan actor. He is noted for portraying Det. C.H. Chan in the show C.H. Chan, Private Eye that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s. He also portrays crime boss Mama Luigi in the film Kingpin.

Born in a small village near Tangier in Morocco, Sallami was orphaned before his first birthday and adopted by a French couple. The family later moved to France, and again to America to escape the advance of Nazi Germany. Sallami attempted to become an actor in Hollywood in his youth, but was not accepted, so moved to Lovia where the film industry was not as competitive. He quickly became one of the most well-known Lovian film stars.

As of 2012, he is semi-retired due to his age, but still plays occasional small parts as a favour to old colleagues. He lives in Charleston, Sylvania.
