Victor Garland Sorrell (April 9, 1901 – May 4, 1972), nicknamed "Lawyer" and "the Philosopher", was an American Major League pitcher who played his entire career with the Detroit Tigers.

After the eligibility controversy at Wake Forest, Sorrell jumped from college to the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League and posted an 8–0, 3.08 record in 1926.

He won his first four decisions with the Maple Leafs in 1927, giving him 12 victories in pro ball before he suffered his first loss.

His best season was 1930, when Sorrell had a 16–11 record, and was among the American League leaders in ERA (7th), wins (8th) and shutouts (4th).

In 1934, the Tigers had the best season in the team's history, winning the American League pennant with a record of 101–53.

Despite a high-scoring Detroit attack that included Hall of Famers Hank Greenberg, Charlie Gehringer, Mickey Cochrane, and Goose Goslin, Sorrell started only 28 games in 1934 (the fewest of his career to that point) and finished with a 6–9 record and a 4.79 ERA.

Under Sorrell the Pack went 96–89 in 13 years in the ACC, twenty-nine players were picked for all-Conference honors, and three were named all-Americans.
