Victor Costello (born October 23, 1970) is an Irish rugby player and Olympic shot-putter [cite web|title=Irish Olympic Throwers|url=http://homepage.eircom.net/~irishthrowersclub/Irish%20Olympians.html] . Playing senior rugby throughout the 1990s until his retirement in 2005, his rugby career with Leinster and Ireland straddled the amateur and professional eras. As he became something of a legend among Leinster rugby fans towards the end, he was immortalised in the supporters chant "We've got Vic Costello, you've got phuc-all-ee-oh!" sung to the tune of "La donna e mobile" from Rigoletto (see external links).

His sister Suzanne is an Irish international hockey player, sprinter and is director of the Samaritans (Charity) in Ireland [cite news|url=http://archives.tcm.ie/breakingnews/2007/03/28/story303968.asp|title=Victor Costello's sister becomes charity director ] . His father Paddy ('Butch') was also an Irish International rugby player, playing second row [cite news|url=http://www.breakingnews.ie/2005/03/16/story193945.html|title=Leinster's Costello to retire] .
