Victor A. E. J. "Vic" Barwick (17 June 1879 - 20 December 1963) was an Australian rules footballer who played for St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
After playing his early football in the Tasmanian town of Queenstown, Barwick ventured to the mainland and joined St Kilda. A strongly built rover, he was good enough to represent the VFL in 1904 and topped St Kilda's goal-kicking in 1909 with 16 goals. Barwick also was club captain for both the 1905 and 1909 seasons. Although he would return to St Kilda briefly in 1913, Barwick finished his career at Brighton in the Victorian Football Association.
He was one of the earlier Tasmanian players to have made a mark in the Victorian Football League and in 2005 he was inducted into his state's Football Hall of Fame.
