Victor Mitchell (born December 12, 1965) is a businessman and former legislator in the U.S. state of Colorado. Since 2009, he has been CEO of Lead Funding, a real estate lender. Elected to the Colorado House of Representatives as a Republican in 2006, Mitchell represented House District 45, including Teller County and southern Douglas County, Colorado. Mitchell served one term in office and did not stand for re-election in 2008.

In February 2017, Mitchell filed papers with the Secretary of State's office and told ColoradoPolitics.com he will be a candidate for Colorado Governor in 2018.

Born in Edison, New Jersey, Mitchell attended San Diego State University, earning a bachelor's degree in finance in 1988. He formerly served on the Board of Directors of the Business College of San Diego State University.

Mitchell is a life-long entrepreneur and successful businessman who has started or turned around numerous companies. Since his teen years, when he worked as a newsboy and busboy, he has always worked for himself or one of his companies.

In 1987, while in college, he started a transportation business, and, over the course of his career, founded and served as CEO and chairman of five companies: Advantage Advisory Service (1989–2004), Advantage Cellular (1991–1995), Advantage Wireless (1996–2004), Motion Telecom, (2002–2004), and Ricochet Networks (2003–2004). After selling Advantage Cellular to AirTouch (later part of Verizon) in 1995, Mitchell moved to Denver, Colorado in 1996 and founded Advantage Wireless, a wireless distributor. After expanding to 114 branded locations, Advantage Wireless was sold to private investors in 2004. Advantage Wireless, Inc. was named "Colorado Small Business of the Year" by the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce in 2000. Mitchell has also served on advisory boards of the Denver Metro Chamber and the Denver Better Business Bureau.
