Victor Rogut (born 28 February 1979) is a Moldovan former swimmer, who specialized in long-distance freestyle events. He is a two-time Olympian (2000 and 2004) and a member of the Moldova Swimming Team.
Rogut made his official debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he competed in the 400 m freestyle. Swimming in heat two, he edged out Turkey's Aytekin Mindan to claim a sixth spot and thirty-eighth overall by four hundredths of a second (0.04) in 4:01.42.
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Rogut qualified again for the 400 m freestyle, by achieving a FINA B-standard of 4:01.05 from the Russian Open Championships in Moscow. He challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including his former rival Mindan and Bulgaria's Petar Stoychev, who later emerged as a top favorite in open water. Rogut pulled off another sixth-place finish in the same heat from four years ago in 4:01.68, just 0.24 of a second off his entry time. Rogut failed to reach the top 8 final, as he placed thirty-fifth overall in the preliminaries.
