Victor Frederick Snyder (born September 27, 1947) is an American physician, lawyer, and politician who was the U.S. representative for Arkansas's 2nd congressional district from 1997 to 2011.

He is a graduate of Medford High School (1965) and attended college at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon, where he was a member of Kappa Sigma.

In the Arkansas legislature, Snyder stepped into one of his earliest legislative controversies when he attempted to repeal the state's aged "Sodomy Laws".

Ultimately, however, his efforts failed, and the sodomy laws stayed in effect until the state Supreme Court struck it down in Jegley v. Picado in March 2001.

[1] Snyder focuses on many traditionally liberal issues, including a particular interest in support for veteran's and military families.

He has a fairly liberal voting record for being an elected politician from the South and otherwise conservative-leaning Arkansas.

On issues of free and expanded trade, Snyder differs with his party, especially his Southern populist colleagues.
