Victor Cushwa IV (1925 – August 19, 1991) was a Democratic state senator representing Legislative District 2 in Western Maryland.

In his 13 years as a member of the state Senate, he served as majority whip and chairman of the Rules Committee.

In 1989, Cushwa joined several other senators in a filibuster to block an abortion-rights bill, which eventually fell one vote shy of passing.

About a year after his appointment, Victor Cushwa died from lung cancer at Washington County Hospital in Hagerstown at the age of 66; he continued his duties on the commission until shortly before his death.

The Victor Cushwa Memorial Bridge at Sideling Hill in Western Maryland is named in his honor.
