Victor Delbos (26 September 1862, Figeac – 16 June 1916, Paris) was a Catholic philosopher and historian of philosophy. Delbos was appointed a lecturer at the Sorbonne in 1902.
In 1911 he became a member of the Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques.
He died in July 1916 as a result of an infectious myocarditis brought on by pleurisy.
Maurice Blondel, a close friend, wrote an obituary account of Delbos and saw various posthumous publications through the press.He wrote on Spinoza, Nicolas Malebranche and Kant.
A series of lectures on post-Kantian philosophy, which Delbos viewed as shaped by contingent psychological and social factors rather than through the unfolding of some internal logic, were published posthumously and later (1942) collected in a single volume.
