Pilot Officer Victor Pierre De Wallens was an English airman of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve who died during the Second World War.

He was born in 1919, in Camberwell, the son of Belgian Pierre Francois, who was naturalized in 1946 at which time he was a company director,[1] and Grace Eva De Wallens (née Fortune), of London.

De Wallens, of 16 Operational Training Unit, died on 25 June 1942, when his Vickers Wellington (serial X9982) was lost to unspecified causes while engaged on an operation against Bremen.[2]

The six crew have no known grave and are commemorated by the Runnymede Memorial.
